During our Ayutthaya bicycle excursion you will get a good impression of the once mighty capital of Siam.Our first stop is at Pom Phet or “Diamond Fortress”, one of the sixteen fortresses along the city walls of Ayutthaya. We continue our bicycle adventure and cycle through local neighborhoods and pass so-called “Roti Road”.
We cycle through the quiet Somdet Phra Srinakarinda Park to Chedi Phra Si Suriyothai, a memorial for the first heroine in Thai history, and make a short photo stop here. Then we ride further along the river and observe the daily life of the local people living on the river banks. We stop at a Muslim community where they make handicraft woven wind mobiles from palm leaves in the shape of a carp, “Pla Tapian Bai Lan”.
The tour brings us then to the world-renowned Ayutthaya Historical Park. We stop at Wat Phra Sri Sanphet which was the most important temple and situated within the Royal Palace grounds. The next stop is at Wat Mahathat, best known for its photogenic Buddha’s head entwined within the roots of a tree.
We continue our Ayutthaya bicycle ride to “Chao Phrom Market” and walk with our bicycle over the market. This busy market has been around since Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam. We take a ferry back to cross the Pasak river and within a few minutes back at our meeting point where the tour ends. During the trip we make regular stops for sightseeing and to provide you with drinking water/soft drink and a Thai snack. Anyone able to ride a bicycle can join this Ayutthaya bicycle excursion as it is designed to be enjoyable, educational and fun and is not too demanding on the legs!
