About Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam for four centuries before its destruction in 1767, and the brick-and-stupa ruins are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cycle between Wat Mahathat and Wat Chaiwatthanaram, cruise the rivers at sunset and combine a guided day trip from Bangkok with a stop at the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace. Most tours include round-trip transport and a licensed guide.
Best Time to Visit Ayutthaya
November to February is cooler for cycling between ruins.

Ayutthaya Travel FAQ
Quick answers before you book.
How long do I need in Ayutthaya?

Is a guide useful?
Yes, the ruins make more sense with historical context, and guides handle tickets and tuk-tuk routing.

Better as a separate day. Bangkok's Grand Palace deserves its own morning without rushing north.
