  • We decided to join this tour to Ayutthaya on this visit to Thailand. It's like being on the set of Tomb Raider :p. Lickily our tourist guide spoke good english so he was able to explain the sights to us well. This is where the capital of Thailand used to be & was destroyed because of their war with the Burmese. It was once a luxurious city with lots of Buddhist monasteries.
    For this trip, we paid $65USD with included transfers form the hotel to ayutthaya, a cruise on the Chao Phraya River via Shangrila cruise and buffet lunch catered by the Shangrila Hotel.

  • after our tour to Ayutthaya, we took the cruise at the Chao Phraya River back to the city. The cruise took around 1 1/2 hours. We chose the Shangrila cruise boat which inclued a buffet lunch. I really enjoyed this part of our tour because the food was really great. =)

  • This is the old Grand Palace where the king used to stay. Nothing much to do here just roamed around and took some pictures. I showed the main house, whicj was chinese inspired. We were able to go in but picture taking was not allowed inside.
