Historic City of Ayutthaya : Founded in c. 1350, Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai. It was destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century. Its remains, characterized by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of its past splendour. The charm of ancient city of Ayutthaya Thailand continues to gain tourists’ attention as a historic attraction. Not only the old moments but also the new things that shine. When it comes to historical buildings, Ayutthaya travel is well known for temples and palaces. But in addition to that, a variety of food is also another magnet. 

ITINERARY : 

08.00hrs. :  After breakfast , pick up from your hotel lobby and transfer to Ayutthaya would take 1.30hrs. Visit Bang Pa-In Royal Palace , also known as the Summer Palace, is a palace complex formerly used by the Thai Kings. It lies beside the Chao Phraya River  in Bang Pa - In District . King Prasartthong constructed the original complex in 1632, but it fell into disuse and became overgrown in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, until King Mongkut began to restore the site in the mid-19th century. Most of the present buildings were constructed between 1872 and 1889 by King Chulalongkorn. Amidst vast gardens and landscaping stand the following buildings: Wehart Chamrunt (Heavenly Light), a Chinese-style royal palace and throne room; the Warophat Phiman (Excellent and Shining Heavenly Abode), a royal residence; Ho Withun Thasana , a brightly painted lookout tower; and the Aisawan Thiphya-Art (Divine Seat of Personal Freedom), a pavilion constructed in the middle of a pond. The palace remains largely open to visitors.

10:00hrs. :  Visit the local museum Chao Sam Phraya National Museum , is located at tum bon Pratoo Chai, Rojana Road . The museum was built by public fund from precious items found in the underground crypts of the prang (pagoda) tower of Wat Ratchaburana so this museum was named after the king who ordered the construction of Wat Ratchaburana, King Borommarachathirat II or Chao Sam Phraya. Exhibitions are displayed in three buildings. Building One exhibits antiques in different time periods from archaeological excavations and renovations around Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province between 1956-1957: buddha images in Dvaravati, Lopburi and Ayutthaya style, for example a buddha image sits dangling his feet which is a white stone buddha image in Dvaravati style. U Thong buddha image's heads and Ayutthaya wood carvings are also displayed here.

Chao Sam Phraya National Museum open on Wednesday to Sunday 

Further visit Wat Pra Mongkolborpit is situated on the south of Wat Prasrisanpetch and is where the bronze Buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara is situated. This Buddha image has a lap measurement at 9.55 metres and height at 12.45 metres. This is one of the biggest Buddha image in Thailand. It was assumed to be built during the Ayuttaya Era of King Srongtam. The King transferred the location from the east side to the west side which has been the location since then. After that the King ordered to build a dome on top.

12.30hrs. : Lunch at local restaurant

13.30hrs. : After lunch further visit Ayutthaya UNESCO World Heritage City , and historic capital of Thailand . Your first visit start from Wat Mahathat . Wat Mahathat ( Temple of the Great Relics ) is located almost right in the center of Ayutthaya . Apart from being the symbolic center where the Buddha’s relics were enshrined , Wat Mahathat was also the residence of the Supreme Patriarch or leader of the Thai Buddhist monks . The temple is believed to be built during the 14th century A.D. ( the early Ayutthaya period ) . For tourists , Wat Mahathat offers the much photographed Buddha head , embedded into a tree trunk .Wat Phra Sri Sanphet is located in Pratu Chai  subdistrict, Phra Nakorn Si Ayutthaya district, Ayutthaya province. The temple is not only a significant historical site, but also considered as the spiritual center of Thais for a long time. Situated within the royal palace grounds, at Phra Sri Sanphet is the royal monastery and therefore no monk is allowed to reside at. However, the temple served to conduct ceremonies within the royal court, such as the ritual to drink an oath of allegiance. It is also regarded as an equivalence of Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai and a model for Wat Phra Sri Ratana Sasadaram or Wat Phra   Kaew in Bangkok. ,

Wat Chaiwattanaram One of the most visited historical site of Ayutthaya, Wat Chaiwattanaram rests on the bank of the Chao Phraya river, to the west of the city island. The temple was ordered to built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong to honor his mother, featuring the architectural style influenced by Angkor temple in Cambodia—its unique feature is a large, central prang (Khmer-style pagoda) surrounded by smaller prangs, symbolizing Mount Sumeru, the gods' mountain according to Hindu belief. The lighting at night makes the temple even more exotic and beautiful.
