What you'll do

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.

A day not to be missed

I cannot say enough good things about this experience. Piya is a fantastic guide, knowledgeable about all of the places we went to and the rich history of them, and from start to finish ensured we had a wonderful experience. Every detail of the day was beyond my expectations – transportation was comfortable (and cool!), the places we visited were fascinating and beautiful, and Piya ensured we knew how to be safe – and not lose our belongings! – around the monkeys. Lunch was delicious at a riverside restaurant. I told my sister on the way back to Bangkok that this was the best day I’ve had in awhile and meant every word. This tour is an absolute gem.

Breathtaking ruins, Sweet little monkeys

My sister and I had one of the best experiences ever together on this day trip. The temples and ruins are so striking and learning even a little of the history and age of the place made me feel so lucky to stand in these spots. Piya is the best tour guide ever—super friendly, very knowledgeable. He also kindly guided us to particular spots for great photos. And the monkeys in Lopburi are adorable! It was the hottest time of day when we were there, which was good because they were more lethargic. Piya gave us lots of tips and advice and everything he said was true. We didn’t have to be afraid or nervous at all his good advice and watchful eye. Our driver Frank was also awesome—very friendly, great driver. It was a totally comfortable and pleasant ride. I would recommend this daylong tour to anyone!

Great trip, Piya is the best!

Piya was absolutely incredible on our trip, the pure knowledge that he shared was incredible. Not only his knowledge about the Ayutthaya but the Thai culture in whole. Would definitely use him again in the future, thank you for making our trip memorable!

Temple tour and monkey town

What a wonderful day! Pyia was very knowledgeable and really took the time to explain the history of Thailand and its temples. It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever. Can’t wait to share all my photos and stories with friends and family. I couldn’t recommend a better tour guide!

Many monkey shots and lots of Thai history

The monkeys were the highlight of the trip. Piya is a great guide, shared many stories about Thai history and took great photos. The food was fantastic and very affordable.
The trip could possibly be shortened by cutting out one of the sites – unless you major in Thai history, you won’t really miss it or know the difference. That would get you back to Bangkok 1-2 hours earlier.
