Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam)
Wat Lokaya Sutha is a massive temple ruin. It is aligned toward an east/west axis. The monastery has been heavily restored, including floor tiles and brick floors throughout. Most of the temple exists only at the basic foundation level. This includes some stubs of pillars and basic walls. At the eastern entrance are the remnants of three vihans. Behind these sermon halls is a large 30 meters high, Late Ayutthaya period, Khmer-style prang. This prang-tower has a hollow entrance on its eastern side. The remains of an ubsot can be seen behind the prang. Only the basic foundation layer has survived, but there are many sema stones and the detritus of Buddha images. A large bell tower stands on the southwestern corner of this ubosot. The highlight of this temple is its enormous reclining Buddha image (37 meters long and 8 meter high), which is located behind the ubosot.

Fascinating and In-Depth Ayutthaya 1-Day Tour
This one-day cycling tour around Ayutthaya with our knowledgable and compassionate tour guide - Min, was absolutely worth every penny! Me and my friend followed Min into every corner of Ayutthaya, who showed us around UNESCO heritage sites, many well-known and traditional temples and also the must-see Buddhist Head in Tree Roots at Wat Mahathat! Not to mention a splendid authentic Thai lunch was included in the tour, while we also got to taste the local delicacy dessert - Roti Sai Mai at a local market Min took us to. Special thanks to Min, who took care of us very well, he brought us water, drapes to cover our shoulders at temples and also took very beautiful pictures of us during the journey. It was an unforgettable experience and highly recommend this tour to you all!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Krystle, for your heartwarming review! We're delighted you enjoyed the Ayutthaya tour with Min. Your detailed feedback truly motivates us. We hope to host you again for another adventure!

Cycle tour
Beam was a lovely guide who took time to check everyone was keeping up. The temple and ruins of ayutthaya was impressive and in its heyday must have been a sight to behold. I managed to do the bike tour at 56 years old and do think it is suitable for a lot of people. Thank you

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour cost?
+
Prices start at ฿1,095 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour?
+
Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour?
+
Included: Professional guide; Bicycle use; and Bottled water and lunch. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour?
+
The U-Thong road runs in a loop on the Ayutthaya old city/island. If you arrive by train or public bus, use a local TukTuk to get to us (about THB 50-100) In Google maps "ThailandBiking - Ayutthaya branch" Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Colors of Ayutthaya Full-Day Bike Tour?
+
