What you can expect

The Private Tour: Fascinating Ayutthaya & Suphanburi Full Day is an immersive cultural and historical experience that takes you on a journey through two of Thailand’s most significant regions: Ayutthaya, the ancient capital, and Suphanburi, a province rich in history and tradition. This private full-day tour provides a deep dive into Thailand's glorious past, showcasing its rich heritage, magnificent temples, and vibrant local culture.

You will be collected from your hotel in central Bangkok at about 8.00am to be taken by comfortable, air-conditioned mini-van to Ayutthaya, approximately 80 kilometres north of the city.

First stop will be at Wat Mahathat (Temple of the Great Relics). Apart from being the symbolic centre where Buddha's relics were enshrined, Wat Mahathat was also the residence of the Supreme Patriarch or leader of the Thai Buddhist monks. Wat Mahathat is also well known for the much-photographed Buddha head, embedded into a tree trunk.

Then its off to one of the most important temples in Ayutthaya, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon. It has a long and illustrious history but it is still an active temple where monks reside today.

Passing picturesque rice paddies and farms during a drive of about an hour you will have entered Suphanburi Province and arrived at a 100 year old market called Sam Chuk. Along a small street inside the market you will see lots of old houses, building, shops selling foods and much more. Explore some old wooden stores here that date back a century as well as a museum. In 2009, the Sam Chuk Old Market received an Award of Merit in the 2009 annual UNESCO Asia–Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.

Lunch will be taken at a local restaurant followed by a visit to Baan Kwai (Buffalo Village). Here you can watch farmers' conducting traditional daily activities such as rice-threshing and there are many other things to do here too before moving onto Thai Farmers - Nahai Chai Learning Centre.

The Private Tour: Fascinating Ayutthaya & Suphanburi Full Day offers a comprehensive and immersive exploration of Thailand’s rich history, culture, and traditions. From the majestic ruins of Ayutthaya to the cultural treasures of Suphanburi, this full-day tour provides a perfect blend of historical sightseeing, cultural discovery, and local experiences.
