Ayutthaya Tours from Bangkok

Ancient temples, palace gardens and a river journey

Red-brick temple towers, Buddha images and riverside ruins make Ayutthaya a memorable escape from Bangkok. Walk through the former capital's temple grounds, add the gardens and pavilions of Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, or pair your visit with a Chao Phraya River cruise. Our Ayutthaya tours include private day trips, a shared sightseeing-and-cruise programme and a photography tour with a personal photographer.

For a first visit, explore the temples on Ayutthaya Experience. Prefer to linger? The Treasures of Ayutthaya spreads the journey over two days, starting and finishing in Bangkok.

"Ayutthaya was HOT… and rainy! We booked a full-day tour and yes, it was exhausting — but totally worth it. Our guide was amazing! Super chill, didn’t rush us, and even showed us some hidden photo spots I wouldn’t have found on my own Our driver was also great — brand new car, cold A/C, snacks on board, cold towels, and even umbrellas when the rain hit. Honestly, I felt very well taken care of. Tiring day, but full of cool moments. Highly recommend if you want a smooth trip in comfort"

"Wir hatten einen wundervollen Tagesausflug nach Ayutthaya mit Oriental Escape. Die Kinder waren begeistert – besonders die Bootsfahrt auf dem Fluss war für sie ein echtes Highlight! Die historischen Tempel waren beeindruckend, und unser Reiseleiter hat alles auf eine kindgerechte und spannende Weise erklärt. Ein besonderes Erlebnis war das Beobachten der Elefanten beim Baden – ein Moment, den unsere Kinder sicher nie vergessen werden. Die Organisation war perfekt, der Fahrer sehr freundlich und das Fahrzeug komfortabel und sauber. Diese Tour ist absolut empfehlenswert für Familien mit Kindern – sie bietet eine perfekte Mischung aus Kultur, Natur und entspanntem Spaß. Vielen Dank an das Oriental Escape-Team für diesen unvergesslichen Tag!"

"We had a very special day with khun Rabbit and our driver. Everything was taken care of. We learned a lot about Ayutthaya even though this was my third trip to the site within the past 25 years. Khun Rabbit shared a lot of historical knowledge with us. Lunch at the restaurant was very tasty. Thank you!"
