There's an entrance fee for the temples so make sure you bring cash. #travel #asia #thailand #awesomepic

If you’re interested in learning more about the history and culture of the Land of Smiles, one of the best places to visit in Thailand is the ancient Ayutthaya Historical Park. The ruins of this former kingdom are quite impressive and a lot of fun to explore. While it’s a doable day trip from Bangkok, you may want to stay a night or two to make sure you see all of the Ayutthaya temples. We went there at 8 o clock in the morning, and theres a lot of people already. Before going inside the park make sure that you wear an appropriate outfit, wearing shorts is a no no, but incase you are wearing one you can buy skirts or pants from the vendors outside the park.

Ayutthaya is the old capital of Siam ( Old name if Thailand) and here still got a lot ancient history place like temple and grand palace #passionpassport #staycation #gooutside #awesomepic

The city, founded in 1350, was the capital city of Ayyuthaya antique empire.Dozens of Buddhist temples, statues and places are protected by UNESCO The location is around 90 km far from the Bangkok. Since transportation is only by bus from Bangkok, I preferred to come by taxi. about 20 dollars There are a lot of structure that you will admire, it is definitely one of the most important places in the world that you should see. However, it makes it very difficult to travel when the weather is quite hot. You can also experience feeding elephants near this area. I would definitely recommend to see the living paradise on earth #unescoworldheritage #thailand #ayutthayahistoricalpark

Before the Thai capital was moved to Bangkok, Ayutthaya was the seat of the Siamese empire for more than 400 years (1350-1767). The kingdom, which is estimated to have a population of one million, made Ayutthaya the largest city of its time. Ayutthaya is one of the most impressive cities in Asia and a must-see for every history enthusiast when visiting Thailand. The Menam, Lopburi and Pasak rivers surround Ayutthaya Historical Park, the island where most of the temple ruins are located. Wandering through this ancient city will make you feel like you have stepped back in time. It will take you at least two days to see all the attractions, and longer if you don't want to feel rushed. To get to Ayutthaya you can directly buy tickets on the spot at Hua Lamphong Station (Bangkok Train Station), and it will take approximately 90 - 120 minutes. #summervacation

A great place where the relics and historical landmarks, remains of the ancient Buddhist temples, tombs and buildings filled with rich culture.

Ayutthaya Night Tour - Thailand. This my first experience to visit Ayutthsya Historical Park at night time which has a different feeling from day time. The temples looks charming with beautiful lighting. It is good for instagramble as well.

Many people overlooked this hidden GEM 💎 when visiting Bangkok! Most people come to Thailand, to enjoy the beaches 🏝️, have amazing food, indulge in amazing nightlife, and take photos in front of beautiful temples but skipped this opportunity to do a day trip to AYUTTHAYA 🇹🇭‼️ It has all the ancient temples and wonders dating all the way back to the 13th century, with many different types of architecture, from Angkor Wat Hindu style to traditional Thai Buddhis style. It doesnt get as crowded as Angkor Wat, or the main temples in Bangkok but it is still a sight to behold. make sure you catch the sunset in one of the temples next to the night market as well! To get there, the easiest way is to join a tour. But its also possible to do tuktuks and they would show you around the amazing wonder! 💭 🇹🇭

Historic City of Ayutthaya Founded c. 1350, Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai. It was destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century. Its remains, characterized by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of its past splendour. The city was never rebuilt in the same location and remains known today as an extensive archaeological site. At present, it is located in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. #thailand #travel #aitravel #summer #historical

Great place to visit

I was surprised to learn how easy it is to get to the Buddha head embedded in a banyan tree. Listed as a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE and famously advertised by many, this is a great day trip! Deciding how to get there and back, what we wanted to see, we opted to rent a motorbike in Bangkok and ride it all the way, sightseeing all day. The nearby sights are as spectacular as visiting the never rebuilt ancient city. A photographer’s dream location! 🏖BAmbiance/Facilities: Local vendors selling water and seasonal fruits are by the main gate. 📍Address: Tha Wasukri, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya 13000, Thailand 💰Average Price per Person: 50 Baht. 💞Reasons to Recommend: Learning about historical events, cultural history and learning from local people is priceless. 📸 Photos are permitted. However to demonstrate courtesy, pictures should be taken from a kneeling or crouching position. Men are encouraged to wear long pants and women to cover knees and shoulders. 🏎 Getting there from Bangkok is as easy as booking a grab ride, riding a motorbike or taking a bus for a self guided tour, alternatively speak to your nearest travel agent for a guided tour. #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #thailand #bangkok #daytrip #ayutthaya #ayutthayahistoricalpark #summervacation #wintergetaway #2024wish #trip #tripmoments #泰国 #去哪里 #去哪儿

A guided tour adds depth to the experience, providing historical context and fascinating stories about Ayutthaya’s rise and fall. Ayutthaya is an ideal day trip from Bangkok and an essential stop for history enthusiasts on a #ThailandTrip.

#biketour I want to make a reservation right away. Despite the headline, there won't be a single photo with a bike. Each time we left them in specially equipped parking lots near the nearest cafes or temples and were already on our way to explore the city. The vast majority of people, having rented a bicycle, go to the Pasak River and, after paying a few baht (like 5 per person and 2 more for a bicycle), cross the river by ferry. And there it is already close to the temples. We chose a more perverse path and turned aside and drove across the Preedee-Tramrong bridge. The movement is creepy. A huge number of cars and buses. Buzzing, making noise. Since there is left-hand traffic in Thailand, then you need to ride a bike in the left lane. At the same time, of course, novice cyclists have nothing to do here, since one awkward movement and you can simply get run over by a car. More difficulties arise when making right turns. From the leftmost row, it is necessary to change abruptly to the right, given that some of the cars are still going straight. Traffic lights, of course, are not everywhere. A certain skill is needed. And now, finally, we are in place near Phra Ram Park and the temples in the park itself (we drove here from the train station for 20 minutes, well, maybe 25). The park itself is very beautiful. Usually people start visiting temples from the rightmost one on the map Wat Phra Mahathat, but we just looked around there and decided to just take a ride in the park. As a result, the first temple visited was Wat Phra Ram. Next, we move towards Wat Phra Si Sanphet temple. Next, we move towards Wat Phra Si Sanphet temple. Next, we move to the territory of the Wat Mahathat temple, from which most tourists usually begin exploring Ayutthaya. Very close to Wat Mahathat temple is another temple Wat Ratburana. Finally, we go to Wat Chai Watthanaram Temple. It is worth noting that the temple is noticeably away from the rest of the temples and if you get there on your own (on the same bike, for example), then be sure to find this temple in advance in the navigator.
