Highlights
  • Historic City of Ayutthaya - Start your tour with a convenient hotel pick-up in Ayutthaya or Bangkok and enjoy a smooth ride to the Sun Leisure World ATV Place.
  • Wat Samana Kottharam - Gear up for an exhilarating ATV adventure through Ayutthaya’s lush landscape.

During this ATV journey, we’ll take you on an off-road heritage tour, visiting intriguing sites such as:

Wat Samana Kottharan Temple - 30 Minutes
Situated near Wat Kudidao, this temple was restored by Chao Phraya Kosa (Lek) and Phraya Kosa (Pan) during the reign of King Narai the Great. The main highlight is a large and unique prang, thought to mimic the design of Chedi Chet Yot in Chiang Mai.

Wat Kudi Dao - 30 Minutes
Wat Dusitharam - 30 Minutes
Wat Maheyong - 30 Minutes

After the ATV adventure, savor a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant.

  • Wat Kudidao - Located to the east in front of the railway station, this ancient monastery was beautifully built with superior craftsmanship compared to many other temples, as evidenced by the remaining ruins.
  • Wat Dusidaram - An active monastery featuring several new buildings alongside a historical core with a tall phra chedi and a small west-facing ubosot (ordination hall).
  • Wat Maheyong - A large temple where people can practice meditation. It also attracts tourists who come to see the ancient structures, such as the original main hall from the Ayutthaya Era, which are separate from the temple and meditation center.
  • Wat Mahathat - Hop on a Segway and prepare for a new experience in Ayutthaya. Our first Segway stop is Wat Mahathat, where you can explore Ayutthaya’s history and marvel at the unique sight of Buddha’s head entwined in the roots of a Banyan tree.
  • Wat Phra Ram - One of the five main temples in the Ayutthaya historical city, built in 1369 by a king of Ayutthaya over his father’s cremation ground. The temple features a central pagoda surrounded by many smaller pagodas. It’s a fantastic spot for taking photos amidst the archaeological ruins of the great Ayutthaya kingdom.
  • Bueng Phra Ram Park - Located in the heart of Ayutthaya Island amidst ancient sites recognized as a World Heritage City. Enjoy lush greenery, a beautiful pond, and cool morning weather, with a perfect sunset view creating a romantic atmosphere. Don’t miss the chance to visit.
  • Wat Ratchaburana (Temple of the Royal Restoration) - Another significant Buddhist temple ruin in Ayutthaya Historic Park, situated next to Wat Mahathat. It features a hill-like pagoda that can be climbed for a charming view of the green grass field and red ruins.
  • Chao Praya River - Finally, we’ll head to the pier for a boat cruise along the river to experience the local lifestyle.
  • Ayutthaya - As the tour concludes, we’ll return you to your hotel in Ayutthaya or Bangkok.
