Lopburi Monkey Temple & Ayutthaya Old City Tour From Bangkok
Bangkok


















In the morning we leave Bangkok for our day trip to the ancient capital Ayutthaya and Lopburi.
Ayutthaya, a kingdom that existed from 1350 to 1767, is a fantastic destination for culture lovers. During these four centuries, the country grew into the nation of Siam (the former name of Thailand), which roughly occupied the territory of modern Thailand, with the exception of the Lanna kingdom in northern Thailand.
The kingdom came to its final end in 1767, when the Burmese army invaded the country, burnt Ayutthaya to the ground and forced the inhabitants to abandon the city.
Since 1991, Ayutthaya has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its impressive ruins take you back to the glory days of the ancient kingdom.
Lopburi is one of Thailand’s oldest cities, being inhabited continuously since the Dvaravati era, that started 15 centuries ago. During the 10th century Lopburi became part of the Khmer empire that was expanding towards the West. The Khmers built a number of impressive monuments, many of which still exist today.
Later the city came under the influence of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, that was founded around the middle of the 14th century. During the reign of King Narai the Great in the second half of the 17th century, Lopburi was made the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.
During this full day excursion we will visit some historical temples in Ayutthaya and afterwards continue to Lopburi, to visit the famous monkey-temple.
For join tours we only pick up from a few selected areas in Bangkok.
If clients stay outside our regular pick up area, they have to come to our office in Chao Khamrop Road, Chinatown.

Monkey adventure
Piya is a wonderful tour guide. He provided us with history of each of the places we had visited. Piya made sure that we enjoyed and that we were all safe with the monkeys 😁. Thanks so much, Piya!

Well guided monkey 🐒 trip
Our guide Piya was very nice and knowledgeable. He gave us good history background, found us really nice picture spots for the temples, helped us take a lot of pictures with monkeys. Before we played with the monkeys, he prepped my 11 year old well, so they are not scared and handled the monkeys very well. If you get chance in Bangkok, take a trip with him!

Great 2-site day tour
Piya was an amazing guide! We had a great time learning about Thai culture and history, visiting the sites, and most importantly seeing the monkeys! He gave us good food recommendations after our tour as well (one of which is now my bf’s favorite place to eat Bangkok). Highly recommend. We considered doing a tour of just Ayutthaya, but were glad we found this 2-site tour. Seeing monkeys up close was def worth it.
