PLAYING HOOKEY FROM BANGKOK TO AYUTHAYA

Ideal for people that want to visit AYUTTHAYA from BANGKOK during their HOLIDAY in THAILAND. This 2 day PACKAGE shows all the highlights of AYUTTHAYA (UNESCO).

The city of AYUTTHAYA was once famous in all South East Asia. It was (during its Golden Age) even courted by big Asian and European nations. Louis the XIV had resident ambassadors in AYUTTHAYA, whereas Siamese ambassadors were sent to Versailles. Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and other nations had once permanent counters in the legendary Siamese kingdom
Founded in the Fourteen Century by king U-Thong, AYUTHAYA became one of the most important cities in all East. Under king Naresuan the Great, at the end of the Sixteen century, Ayutthaya controlled a huge territory far over Siamese borders, including even Northern kingdom of Lanna, part of Burma and Cambodia.
 
AYUTTHAYA had become a kind of Eastern Tenochtitlan, proudly glistening from its superb temples and golden chedis. The last attack coming from Burma at the end of the Eighteen century (some years before French Revolution) was the death knell for Ayutthaya. Its fall sounded as Doomsday for Siam. The capital was never rebuilt and after the sack, the Court moved down in search of a place to build a new capital. They finally settled down definitely in Bangkok.
 
The city of Ayutthaya was classified by UNESCO in 1991 as ‘World Heritage’. The summer royal residence of Bang Pa-In is worth to visit as well. It shelters some lavishly decorated pavilions in a very well groomed garden. Opposite banks of the river stands one of the most outstanding buildings of the country: A neo gothic style Buddhist monastery. Western tourists should not miss this place for it is really unusual.
 
This unique TOUR will give you the chance to discover the country side along the River of the Kings, before arriving in AYUTTHAYA. You will meet locals in their habitat and appreciate scenes of real unseen THAILAND.
