Ayutthaya: Thailand's most treasured historical sites
Joined 2024
Ayutthaya is one of Thailand's most treasured historical sites. Once the capital of Thailand, known as the Kingdom of Ayutthaya, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was a powerful and thriving city in Southeast Asia for 417 years. While Ayutthaya has many captivating attractions, the Ayutthaya Historical Park, located in the heart of the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see. Ayutthaya is known not only for its temples and palaces but also for its diverse and delicious local food.

“Best Tour Guide you could ask for”
Saroj is the most genuine, kind and caring tour guide. He goes over and above. I was dubious booking as he had so few reviews but i am so pleased i followed my gut instinct and we choose Saroj. He is charming, polite and extremely courteous. When i emailed him 6 months ago, i asked him to prepare an itinerary for myself and 17 year old son. i gave a few places which were a must but the rest was all Saroj’s suggestion. He combined culture and experiences so that we covered both mine and my son’s needs. I even asked about what we should do in the evenings and again he gave lovely ideas and actually booked the evening activities. These were so varied from a Dinner River Cruise, Muay Thai boxing and the Ladyboys of Bangkok. Two weeks before arriving I was full of questions to which he replied in an extremely polite and detailed way - he even told me how to get to the taxi rank in the airport! On meeting Saroj, I knew within 5 minutes that we were in the best hands. Saroj’s breadth of knowledge about Thai culture, history, geography and religion gave us an incredible insight into Thailand. He was so thoughtful, for example bringing cultural foods for us to try, continuously offering to pay for his own food, and offering to wait outside a venue the whole evening just to give us a ride out hotel. Saroj offered to take photos of my son & I so i have wonderful memories. I was also incredibly grateful that Saroj had a large, comfortable and clean car with air conditioning, which was a blessing in the Bangkok weather!
