Itinerary
The most exclusive way to experience the wonders of ancient Ayutthaya - fly by private helicopter with an archaeologist to hear enchanting tales of the old kingdom. The historical expert provides an in-depth perspective of Thailand's former capital city, its phenomenal rise and its inevitable downfall. Enjoy the scenic 30-minute flight, then land near the historical area to walk through the ruins of palaces, Buddhist temples and monasteries dating back to the 14th to 18th centuries. Visit the information center for an overview and examine the museum's interesting collection of artifacts. Drive to Wat Mahathat, or the Monastery of the Great Relic, to see the head of a stone Buddha entwined in the roots of a tree. Explore Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, which was built on the site of the old Royal Palace and enjoy lunch at a restaurant with gorgeous views. Continue to Wat Chai Watthanaram, a royal temple which was used for religious ceremonies. Then return to your private helicopter for the flight back to Bangkok.
