Day Trip Details

Your adventure begins with a pickup at the MBK Shopping Center in Bangkok. We'll journey southwest for approximately 1.5 hours until we arrive at the bustling Maeklong Railway Market. Here, you will have the opportunity to browse a variety of local goods and, if the timing is right, witness a train traversing directly through the market.

Next, we will proceed to the iconic Damnoen Saduak floating market, a maze of waterways lined with local vendors offering their goods from traditional boats. Get ready to hop aboard one of these vessels for an authentic shopping experience!

Following your time at the floating market, you will enjoy some leisure time for lunch in this picturesque setting. We will then travel to the remarkable ruins of Ayutthaya, which served as the capital of the Kingdom of Siam from the 14th to the 18th century and was a significant trade hub.

During your visit, you will explore the significant ruins of several key temples, including Wat Mahathat, Wat Yai Chai Mongkon, and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Be prepared to see the iconic Buddha head enveloped in tree roots at Wat Mahathat, the impressive stupa at Wat Yai Chai Mongkon, and the temple of Wat Phra Si Sanphet, which was once part of the royal palace complex. Your knowledgeable guide will enlighten you on the historical importance of each site while you take in the intricate beauty of the numerous Buddha statues dotted throughout the area.

After experiencing these remarkable locations in Thailand, we will return you to the original meeting point, concluding a memorable 12-hour journey.
