Your day will begin with a drive to the famous town of Ayutthaya. Your introduction will start with lunch arrangements on a traditinal wooden rice barge as you glide across the Pasak River to the east of the old city. Following lunch you will head into the heart of the "Ancient Capital" which stood as the face of the Thai kingdom for 417 years. By 1700 it grew to the largest city in the world with close to 1 million residents and was considered by many european merchants to be the most beautiful city they had come across. Unfortunately its quick demise was just as fast as its rise when it was left abandoned following a Burmese invasion in 1767. The remaining temples and palaces made of stone will create a very compelling ambience that will stick in your mind forever! • Meal included in price of trip doesn't include drinks. • We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes, light clothes and a sun hat.
