Ruins of Ayutthaya guided tour with river cruise: experience overview

The city of Ayutthaya served as the Siam Empire’s capital city for over four centuries, before it was nearly completed destroyed over 230 years ago. Since then, UNESCO have recognised the huge ruins and structures that’re left as World Heritage Site worthy. Today, you’ll follow a guide around the complex and learn all about what life would’ve been like here. Afterwards, you’ll drive to Wat Chom-Lom Pier – it usually takes about an hour – and sail back to Bangkok along the Chao Phraya River.

This makes the experience a useful option when planning time in Bangkok. The exact duration can depend on the selected date, option or operating schedule.
