Full description

Witness the glory of the ancient capital of Siam, Ayutthaya, on a private guided tour. Discover the temple and palace ruins of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Lopburi Monkey Temple.

Meet your guide your hotel lobby at 9 AM. Depart for Ayuthaya, which is about 1 hour from Bangkok.

First, visit Wat Phu Khao Thong, or the Monastery of the Golden Mount, which is located just outside Ayuthaya.

Then, proceed to the ancient palace and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Make a stop at Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit, one of the largest bronze Buddhas in Thailand. After lunch at a local restaurant, drive another hour to the province of Lopburi, one of the oldest cities in the country.

Discover how this city was historically within the large Khmer empire and was briefly the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

The biggest tourist draw in Lopburi is Phra Prang Sam Yod - also known as the Monkey Temple.

See mischievous macaques that live in the temple grounds and surrounding streets, happy to relieve people strolling by of snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and other items.

After saying goodbye to the monkeys, return to your hotel in Bangkok.

Pan and Titi made a fantastic team, and we had a great day with them! Our tour actually occurred in reverse order, with a visit to the monkey temple first and then Ayutthaya temples afterwards. The monkeys were certainly memorable, though on the day we were there they were a little aggressive so we did not linger with them very long. The temples were so beautiful, and Pan did an excellent job teaching us about Thai Buddhism and history - we learned a lot! We also appreciated that Pan and Titi were flexible when we needed to end our day a little earlier than expected, condensing the tour so that we still got to see the greatest hits!

Jill was the very best tour guide on this unique adventure. Our first stop was the monkey temple, which was unlike anything I have seen before. Jill really took great care to provide both the historical and current information to make it interesting. Our second stop was the ancient city and its temples. The many cultural connections and details really set this trip apart from others. Jill, we appreciate you and your knowledge. Thank you for making this so memorable!

fantastic trip, Ayutthaya is 100% worth the visit, there were plenty of cheaper options but this one having our guide made it that bit easier he explained everything to us very good knowledge and took some excellent photos I was slightly skeptical about adding on the monkey tour as it added the price up however now I look back it was a highlight of our trip, amazing experience and memories and massive thank you to our guide he was brilliant
