Wat Chaiwatthanaram Historical Park Tour

Explore the ancient capital of Siam at Wat Chaiwatthanaram, a riverside Khmer-style temple complex of towering brick prangs and weathered ruins from the Ayutthaya Kingdom's golden age. Once a royal temple built to honor a queen mother, its silhouette against the Chao Phraya River has become one of the most photographed scenes in the historic city. Ayutthaya sits roughly 80 kilometers north of Bangkok, making it a popular full-day trip. Our VanService (private van transfer) covers the round-trip drive in comfort, with air-conditioned seating for the whole group and stops along the way if you'd like to see more of the old capital. Sunset is the best time to visit, when the prangs are bathed in golden light.
