Sawasdee Kha! Welcome to Ayutthaya, Thailand!
The ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya is an archaeologist's dream and a travellers' delight. With opportunities to see the ruins of temples and palaces up close, some truly eclectic shopping, a cuisine that tingles your taste buds, warm, friendly people, and amazing Ayutthaya hotels, it is hard not to fall in love with this ancient city.
River cruises, elephant rides and magnificent temples will all help to make your Ayutthaya holiday unforgettable!
Spend your time here exploring the various Wats and palaces, and as you do, notice the two distinct architectural styles - the Khmer and the Sukhothai. The cactus like obelisks may even remind you of what one sees at Angkor Wat. Spend time visualizing the grand edifices where crumbled ruins stand today, explore the beautiful temple complexes and learn more about it all at the museums, there is a lot to see and do in Ayutthaya. There are also many great value places to stay in Ayutthaya and you can use our Ayutthaya map to help you choose one of the hotels in Ayutthaya based on its location.
A cruise down the Chao Phraya to see sights further away makes for an interesting tour in Ayutthaya. A must-see on your trip here is the Bang Pa-in Summer Palace with its pavilion seeming to float above the waterways and ponds. Its greenery and cool waters are a sight for sore eyes and hours will drift by as you marvel at the design of this summer retreat of the royal family.
To pump up the pace a bit, take an elephant ride and experience how the royals travelled in days gone by! If you wish to spend more time with these great beasts, there is an option to stay at the Elephant Kraal where you can help clean and bathe the animals, learn different riding methods and even how to command an elephant.
An afternoon and evening can fly by at the Royal Arts and Crafts Village as you watch basket weaving, silk dyeing or textile weaving demonstrated by local farmers and craftsmen. If the history and culture is all too much for children in the group, a detour to the doll makers section of the village or a visit to the Aquarium or Bird Park will keep them happy.
Those with an eye for hand crafted work are sure to appreciate the fine expertise of sword smiths at the Aranyik village. Other interesting attractions in Ayutthaya include visits to the Japanese Village, the Portuguese Village, The Diamond Fort and Somdet Phra Si Nakharin Park.
