Ayutthaya: Ancient Royal Capital and Treasures

☀️ Morning            Start your historical journey at Wat Phra Si Sanphet. This was the most important and holiest temple on the former Royal Palace grounds, distinguished by its three iconic Ceylonese-style chedis (pagodas). Next, head to Wat Mahathat, known globally for the revered Buddha head intertwined within the roots of a large Bodhi tree. These sites showcase the immense grandeur of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

🍽️ Afternoon          Visit Wat Ratchaburana, which is famous for the valuable gold and royal artifacts discovered in its hidden crypt. Afterwards, have lunch at a local riverside restaurant or near the historical park area to experience the regional cuisine before continuing your exploration.   

🌙 Evening             Conclude your day by exploring the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum (พิพิธภัณฑ์เจ้าสามพระยา). This museum houses the priceless gold artifacts and jewels recovered from the ancient temple crypts, offering a clear insight into Ayutthaya's immense wealth and craftsmanship. You can then enjoy a final dinner before heading back to Bangkok.
