Things to do
Visit the Historical City of Ayutthaya: This was amazing tour and a must see if you visit Bangkok. Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand from 1350 to 1767 when the country was called Siam. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the famous temples Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, Wat Mahathat, Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit, Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Chaiwatthanaram. Our tour guide was extremely informative! And the van that we were in was nicer than expected. Here is a link to the airbnb experience.
