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.

Really great experience
It was a great experience and well organized.
The guide Piya was really nice and explained us a lot of things. The tour started in Bangkok and took us to Ayutthaya Where we visited three temples.
We had lunch together and we got to Lopburi to have fun with monkeys and a lot of photos too 🙂
Highly recommended!

Great trip out of Bangkok!
The guide is very friendly and teaches a lot of things about what we see! He also takes us some great pictures in perfect spots! Cherry on the cake is the meeting with the monkeys where you can feed them and take some pictures with them!

Worthy tour.
It’s always nice when the tour guide appears to love what they do. Piya was excellent and was very knowledgeable. He also took really good pictures for us. It was definitely a tour worth going on. The monkeys were a bit scary, but it was an experience of a lifetime.

Good balance of temples and monkeys 😁
Great day! Started off with a really good tour of three different temples in Ayutthaya. Piya had a lot of knowledge to share and knew all the best spots for photos. Just be women be sure to wear pants that come at least to the knees and have something to cover shoulders and cleavage. Seems like scarves are fine we saw others doing that.
My favourite part we’re the monkeys in Lopbury, he takes you around for a tour to see monkeys sitting around town. Then to a temple with lots of monkeys. Here Piya shares food with you so that the monkeys come and climb on you. Make sure to wear clothes you don’t care about, we were covered in dirt after. I had 5 monkeys on me at one point. It was awesome the monkeys like to be around people.
Thank you for a great day Piya!

5 stars, great day out
Brilliant day out. Great experience seeing the monkeys in their temple. Piya was very passionate and knowledgeable and was a great guide. The historic temples (Wats) were also a great experience. Thanks for a great day. Lee
