Your experience

With a knowledgeable guide, shared/private transportation, and your spirits high, set off on an unforgettable journey through Ayutthaya, Thailand's ancient capital.

Lions, tigers, crocs, oh my

Head to Sriayuthaya Lion Park, where you'll spend a thrilling morning hanging out with some of the coolest cats in town. Watch in awe as lions chow down during feeding time, and keep your eyes peeled for sleek tigers and spotted leopards. The park's famous crocodile show is a must-see, featuring the rare Siamese crocodile.

Temples, costumes, and a taste of Thai culture

In the afternoon, explore some of Ayutthaya's most famous temples, each with its unique story. At Wat Mahatat, you'll see the iconic Buddha head peeking out from twisted tree roots, and at Wat Phra Si Sanphet, you'll learn why this temple was once reserved only for Ayutthayan kings. Also, you can ride an elephant for 10 minutes here.

You'll also visit the stunning Chai Watthanaram temple, a prime example of ancient Khmer architecture. For a truly immersive experience, you'll have the chance to dress up in traditional Thai costumes and snap some Instagram-worthy pics against these historic backdrops. Your friends back home will be seriously jealous.
