Bang Pa In Palace
Bang Pa-In Palace isn’t what you might expect from a Thai royal place. Some European-influenced architecture wouldn’t look out of place at a stately residence in France or Germany. And the sight of tourists driving golf buggies over a bridge lined with Renaissance-style statues may make you do a double-take. But the golf buggies provide a practical and modern solution that allows visitors to explore the expansive grounds comfortably. The royal palace with rules of propriety, but it retains a relaxed atmosphere and is a pleasure to visit. Home to an elegant collection of buildings with a mix of European and Thai architecture styles, Bang Pa-In Palace, reflects the personality of the man who oversaw much of the construction, King Chulalongkorn.

Historic City of Ayutthaya
The Historic City of Ayutthaya, founded in 1350, was the second capital of the Siamese Kingdom. It flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, during which time it grew to be one of the world’s largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas and a center of global diplomacy and commerce. Ayutthaya was strategically located on an island surrounded by three rivers connecting the city to the sea. This site was chosen because it was located above the tidal bore of the Gulf of Siam as it existed at that time, thus preventing attack of the city by the sea-going warships of other nations. The location also helped to protect the city from seasonal flooding.
At last, it's an ideal opportunity to return. Furthermore, drop off you at your Bangkok City Hotel around 5 pm.

We had a great time with Chutima on our tour. She helped us to understand both the history of Ayutthaya and the culture and history of Thailand as a country. We had a great and authentic Thai lunch and gained an enhanced appreciation for Thailand. I strongly recommend this tour as a convenient way to see some amazing and sights, learn some fascinating history and meet some very cool people.
Very Happy We Went

There were just two of us. Guide was friendly and enthusiastic about the sites and history. Very good driver and comfortable vehicle. Nice lunch too. More expensive than being part of a larger group would be but definitely worth it. Very convenient to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel.
Super Daytour to Ayutthaya

We took the Ayutthaya (Ayudhaya) tour with Siri (MS.Siriwaritsara Petcharapan) as our guide and Mr.Daeng as the driver. I booked the tour online very late the previous night, yet it all went without a hitch! The car with the guide showed up a few minutes before the appointed time at the hotel. I want to take the time to really appreciate how well they conducted this private tour, especially the superior guidance by Siri, and highlight those that impressed us very much:

* Siri's command of the history and the region is comprehensive. During the drive from Bangkok to Ayudhiya, we were able to talk and understand a number of contemporary and historical events

* Her communication and English are fluent, we were able to communicate easily

* Mr.Daeng (sp!) is a safe efficient and courteous driver

* Siri also seems very good at not just knowing where to take memorable pictures but takes a lot of them herself and sends to us. In addition to the ones we took, we got quite a few good ones thsi way

After booking, I called the number listed for the tour operator (MAM Holidays) to give them mu local SIM number in case. The gentleman who spoke was also all efficient. In the morning , it was nice to get a call from him to say Siri and the car should be at the hotel and I can proceed to the lobby to get started.

I am glad to recommend this tour without reservation. Thank you Siri and team
Amaaazing day and guide
