Pom Phet (Phet Fortress)
Pom Phet was the most important fortress, protecting the harbour where foreign ships were forced to anchor for inspection and unloading. No foreign ships travelling up the Chao Phraya River before were allowed beyond this point. In 1767, the Burmese were

unable to penetrate Ayutthaya from this fort. The city walls were finally breached on the northeast side of the main island at the Maha Chai fortress to be exact. Pom Phet is one of the two remnants of old fortresses and now a public park.

Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam)
Wat Lokaya Sutha is a massive temple ruin. It is aligned toward an east/west axis. The monastery has been heavily restored, including floor tiles and brick floors throughout. Most of the temple exists only at the basic foundation level. This includes some stubs of pillars and basic walls. At the eastern entrance are the remnants of three vihans. Behind these sermon halls is a large 30 meters high, Late Ayutthaya period, Khmer-style prang. This prang-tower has a hollow entrance on its eastern side. The remains of an ubsot can be seen behind the prang. Only the basic foundation layer has survived, but there are many sema stones and the detritus of Buddha images. A large bell tower stands on the southwestern corner of this ubosot.

The highlight of this temple is its enormous reclining Buddha image (37 meters long and 8 meter high), which is located behind the ubosot.

Seeing the local community and their lifestyle. Scott was an amazing guide with vast knowledge of the area and it's history. Plus it is a good workout with the bike! Highly recommended
Scott is awesome
Noortje v, 06-09-2022
We booked the tour and got Scott as our tour guide, he was very friendly and answered all our questions, not only about the tour but about general Thai culture and beliefs as well. He spoke English very well, was friendly, patient and made sure we were safe in the sometimes chaotic traffic of Ayutthaya. 10/10 would recommend, ask for Scott if you book this tour!

The was very enjoyable and is highly recommended. It was the perfect way to see many of the sights, but also to explore the city and see many different aspects of this world heritage site. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and his English was very good. Being a local he was able to share his love for his city with us. Although we went on a very hot and humid day, it was still most enjoyable.
Best Way to See the City!

Great tour through historic Ayutthaya

We had a nice bicycle ride through many historic temples and some additional sights. The guide was very friendly and was able to answer all questions. She also took pictures from us and provided us delicious desert.
The only minor downside was that we had less time at the beautiful temples in the end of the tour. Now knowing all the content, I would rather skip one stop (the fort) and take more time at the last temple.
Thanks for a great experience!
