Things to do in Ayutthaya, Ayutthaya Province: The Best Day Trips from

December 18, 2021 Terina Blouin

Built just to the east of the spectacular ruins of the capital of the Ayutthaya kingdom, a Siamese power destroyed by Burmese invasion in the 18th century, Ayutthaya is a modern Thai city studded with archeological wonders. Headless Buddhas and crumbling but still-beautiful reliquary towers and wats give evidence of the majesty of the civilization that was once centered here.

We did our own tour, reading ahead of time and as we walked across the bridge. The area is beautiful and has a dark history that is definitely worth researching about ahead of time.

After spending 2 weeks in various regions of Thailand, we wrapped up our trip in Bangkok. We had one full day so wanted to see and learn as much as we could. We communicated with Nikki in advance of our trip and he was very friendly, responsive and helpful in recommending which of the many options were not to be missed. Nikki met us at our hotel and arranged tuk-tuks and taxis to get us to the various locations which was easy and fun. Our day was chock-full...we went to Pak Klong Talad flower market (beautiful!), the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha (awe-inspiring), Wat Arun, Reclining Buddha, a longboat ride along the Choaphaya River, and China Town. Nikki shared his knowledge of the area, the sites, the people, and the history. He is outgoing and enthusiastic and he took good care of us. We enjoyed the day immensely and would absolutely recommend a tour with Nikki!

I visited Thailand with 2 friends in November 2018 and Pary was our guide for 3 days : in Bangkok, Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya. 2 years later (time flies), I still remember that trip very fondly. From the start, she was open and responsive to our requests by email. On the ground, Pary was knowledgeable, well-prepared and adaptive. Beyond her professionalism, her generous and joyful personality and passion for sharing really shine through. If given the opportunity to go back to Thailand, I would love to have Pary as a guide again!

The travel feeling different than before. Many places in Pattaya were close and the atmosphere seems quiet but Pattaya more calm and beautiful. Car service, driver very nice and car quite new and clean. Driver always remind and give us the spray alcohol to clean our hand when we got back in car????. So we didn't need to worry about the cleanliness.

Today started out very early. We met at the office and left on time. Oh, Nong, and Sam were terrific tour guides. It was nice to leave so early because traffic was minimal. Was good fun waiting for the train to arrive and also riding it to the market. You have to see the market to believe it. So cool how everyone moves their wares when the train arrives. After hanging out there for a while, we went to the floating market. Since it's during the time of covid, there were no other foreign tourists. Many of the stalls were closed but being on the river was fascinating. Oh got us a boat and we were paddled around to different stalls. It was really nice. Afterwards, we ate by the river. Then, we made one last stop to a family farm to learn about the process of making palm sugar. Oh told us about the family and gave us a tour of their home. Fascinating. It was an all around great day. We would definitely do another tour with them again.
