Full of history and anecdotes about Old Bangkok, this one-day guided tour includes a visit to Wat Saket (Golden Mount), a temple that sits atop a man-made hill and gives panoramic views of Bangkok.
Travelling via tuk-tuk you'll also visit Baan Bart, an old Khmer community renowned for crafting alms bowls, Wat Suthat and its Giant Swing

If you have the money to spare, i would highly recommend you to join one of the river tour company by the Chao Phraya River, to go to Ayuttaya
It cost me about 1600 Thai BAHT per pax, including
buffet lunch on board of the cruise ( lunch was good) and return transfer from the hotel i'm staying.
The cruise was very good as we saw the changes in scenery as boat went down from bangkok to
Ayuttaya
Wat Phra Mahathat

Send Photo to a FriendAyuthaya, an UNESCO world heritage site, is located 86 km north of Bangkok. So we went there for a day trip. We took the train ( I thought
itīs the best and nicest way to get there). Itīs about an hour and a half. A tuk tuk driver took us to all the interesting places. The tuk tuk was quite "expensive" by Thailand-means, but he
takes you to all the intersting spots. I realized that the area is too huge for walking (and also way to hot!!!)
My favorite palces were Wat Phra Mahathat (Buddha head around which tree roots have
grown) and Wat Ratburana (looks like a mini version of Angkor Wat)
