What you'll see and do

  1. Wat Chaiwatthanaram

    Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a temple built in the 1600s.When the capital of Thailand was Ayutthaya, it was said to be a temple used for various events, but it has a history of being destroyed by the war against the Burmese army (now Myanmar) that broke out in the 1700s and falling into ruins.The walkways and other structures in the park are now well maintained, and visitors can stroll around the plot and take photos while enjoying the atmosphere of an ancient city that is deserted.It is also possible to rent Thai national costumes (for a fee) at the entrance of the plot, and you can walk around the plot dressed in beautiful national costumes with a parasol in your hand.

  2. Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

    Visit Wat Phra Si Samphet, built in the late 1,400s in the Ayutthaya Royal Palace.It was once a flourishing place, but it too has been destroyed by the Burmese army's invasion of all its buildings and Buddha statues.Now, the rows of Thai Royal Palace buildings in Bangkok are said to have been built in perfect reproduction of the map of this section before it was destroyed, so you can feel the flow of Thai history from Ayutthaya to the present.

  3. Wat Mahathat

    Wat Mahathat was once also built by temples and buildings whose summits shone with gold.It is also a destroyed and abandoned place, where you can admire a landscape where trees grow and cover the head of a Buddha statue that has been destroyed and rolled to the ground over the long period of time, deserted.This is now a park, with rental bicycles and a walk around the park on the back of an elephant.

  4. For lunch, head to Bang Ayutthayarom, a Thai restaurant on the Chao Phraya River.There are Riverside seats and stylish, air-conditioned indoor seating.You can taste authentic Thai dishes such as the famous charcoal-grilled river shrimp and Thai-style ankake-yaki oysters.This is a Thai river shrimp that is so big that I have never seen it before in Japan, and it tastes and tastes strangely like 50/50 shrimp and crab.It's common to pickle a spicy Thai seafood sauce, but it's also recommended to sprinkle it with salt to enjoy the taste of the ingredients more.

  5. Wat Phu Khao Thong (Golden Mount)

    Visit Wat Phu Khao Thong, an 80 meter high temple.This temple, called "Golden Pagoda Temple", allows visitors to ascend to the central pagoda by stairs, but it is recommended to be careful about stepping on the stairs because they are narrow and steep, and if you are not good at heights, never look back on the way up and climb to the top at once.Once you reach the top, you'll have panoramic views of the cityscape of Ayutthaya, a World Heritage Site, from high above.

    30 minutes here · Admission included

  6. Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan

    Wat Panangchoon is said to have been built before the Ayutthaya dynasty, where a large 19m golden Buddha sits.This temple is still visited by a large number of worshippers as it is an auspicious building that miraculously escaped from the many invasions and sabotages of the Burmese army that took place in the past.It is characterized by its Chinese-style decoration, and can be used for various prayer fulfillment events and for drawing fortune slips.

Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.

How much does Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant cost?

+

Prices start at $1990 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 Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant?

+

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 Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant?

+

Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Half-day tour of the site of the temple and royal palace in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand (includes transfer car, entrance fee and Japanese guide) Lunch at a popular Thai restaurant 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.
