During this immersive tour, you will explore the UNESCO-listed ancient temples of Ayutthaya, a former capital of Siam and one of Thailand’s most historically rich regions. Your journey begins at the elegant Bang Pa-In Palace, a former summer residence of Thai kings known for its serene gardens and distinctive blend of architectural styles. As you walk through its refined halls and landscaped grounds, your guide will share fascinating stories about the palace’s past rulers, cultural influences, and role in Thai history.
After leaving the palace, the tour continues to the heart of Ayutthaya’s ancient temple complex. Here, you will discover centuries-old ruins, towering prangs, and intricately carved stupas that reflect the grandeur of the former kingdom. Highlights include witnessing the iconic Reclining Buddha and the famed tree where a Buddha’s head has naturally become entwined within the roots—a powerful symbol of resilience and spirituality.

Nice ruins with some monks here. 80 bht entry for tourists, most ppl come to see the head in the tree. Cannot climb main large building as you can in the ruins next door.
A must visit in Ayutthaya City. It costs 80 baht for foreigners and 10 baht for Thai people to enter. The main attraction is the Busddha in the tree, but there are plenty of chedi, prang and other Buddha statues about. Talk a walk around Thai history and enjoy.
This place is full of history and has such a relaxing atmosphere. Walking around the ruins feels like stepping back in time, with every corner showing something interesting. The Buddha head in the tree roots is very unique and even more impressive in real life than in photos. It’s a beautiful spot to take pictures, learn about the past, and just enjoy some quiet moments away from the busy city. Definitely worth a visit.
The remnants of the Ayutthya Kingdom. The Ayutthya Kingdom was one of the most thriving dynasties of South east asia before it was attacked by the Burmese Konboung dynasty. Wat Mahathat is one such remnant of the Ayutthya dynasty. The entry ticket is 50 baht for non thai national and dress code mandates covered shoulder and knees. There are a few gifts shops right beside the ticket counter where one can rent a scarf or trousers. The place is spotless clean and serene. One can feel the calmness and peace in the air. The place definitely lives upto the hype and is a must visit spot in Ayutthya. The Buddha head in the tree is the top attraction here. But the crowd here is well managed and everyone gets a chance to take a pic. Do carry umbrella and water while visiting. Late afternoon is the best time yo visit
Been waiting to see this iconic image and it didn’t fall short of our expectations. The entire area is so clean and kept so well just like all tourist spots in Thailand. The crowd was amazing and everyone stood to take their photos and moved fast. On the whole it was a fabulous experience. Must see people who love cultural experiences, the entire temple has some beautiful structures and statues.
