- Ayutthaya - In the morning, we leave Bangkok for our day trip, approximately 1 hour on the van, to the ancient capitals of Ayutthaya and Lopburi.
Ayutthaya, a kingdom that existed from 1350 to 1767, is a fantastic destination for culture lovers. During these four centuries, the country grew into the nation of Siam (the former name of Thailand), which roughly occupied the territory of modern Thailand, with the exception of the Lanna kingdom in northern Thailand.
The kingdom came to its final end in 1767, when the Burmese army invaded the country, burned Ayutthaya to the ground, and forced the inhabitants to abandon the city.
Since 1991, Ayutthaya has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its impressive ruins take you back to the glory days of the ancient kingdom.
- Lopburi Province - Lopburi is one of Thailand’s oldest cities, having been inhabited continuously since the Dvaravati era, which started 15 centuries ago. During the 10th century, Lopburi became part of the Khmer empire that was expanding towards the West. The Khmers built a number of impressive monuments, many of which still exist today.
During this full-day excursion, we will visit some historical temples in Ayutthaya and afterwards continue to Lopburi to visit the famous monkey-temple
