Pick-up/drop-off based on Bangkok hotel in downtown only.
Excursion starts daily in Ayutthaya at 10.00h (pick up time earlier from hotel in Bangkok)
After selecting the bicycle and a quick bike fitting we start the Ayutthaya bicycle tour from meeting and follow the road in northern direction through idyllic villages, along rice paddies, visit a local elementary school (if open) to interact with the children. We continue the ride and make a stop at Phaniat Royal Elephant Kraal where you have the chance to see these amazing animals up close. The closer we get to the old capital the more ruins of temples we see along the way.
Around 12:30 hrs we will have a Thai lunch at a riverside restaurant. After lunch we enter the old capital and visit Wat Mahathat, Wat Pra Sri Sanphet and explain you about the history of Ayutthaya and its temples and kings.
We continue with a short ride over a local market where typical local delicacies are baked, fried, sold and consumed. Not far from the market we make a stop at the huge reclining Buddha, the biggest one in Ayutthaya, at Luang Phor Lokayasuttha.
We continue our ride to another remarkable and beautiful temple on the west riverbank of the Chao Phraya river, Wat Chai Wattanaram. This temple was constructed in 1630 by King Prasat Thong as a memorial of his mother’s residence in that area.
After this impressive temple we continue our ride along the west bank of the Chao Phraya river until we reach the pier to cross the river again back to the city. Tour finish around 16.00-16.30h in Ayutthaya and then continue transfer back to Bangkok.
N.B. Back to your hotel in Bangkok late evening
