The current name of the monastery was acquired at the end of the 16th century, when a large chedi was built. In the northeast, you can see a large statue of the Reclining Buddha wrapped in yellow cloth, facing east towards the rising sun. Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, like many other buildings in the area, was destroyed during the invasion in 1767. Great place and worth visiting.

It was a little hot walking down to the hotel for the tour pickup as the tour bus doesn't come to the individual hotels of customers. It took over an hour to get outside of Bangkok, but it was certainly worth it. My tour guide was very animated and engaging as he led us around three major pagoda temple areas followed by a sunset boat ride. Unlike several other temple areas that I visited, the temple areas were extremely old in age but still in good condition. I learned a lot from this tour!

Johnny was very professional, answering all our questions, providing much history of the Ayutthaya city. The schedule worked well. The boat ride to the last temple was fun. The second boat scheduled was not available, but a replacement was quickly found, such that no time was lost.

Our guide, Jom had great energy, the occasional salacious joke, and kept the group inclusive - he would wait for us to congregate before explaining about certain spots. He also kept everything going with a smile! Truly energetic and a wonderful trip to see temples you wouldn’t normally see in Bangkok. Would recommend to others seeking a getaway from the city life!

A big air-conditioned bus, every seat filled, took us from a central meeting place. The tour felt a bit rushed, but the guide was good and knew his stuff. It was worth it to see Ayutthaya! The river ride was scenic and they gave us bread to feed the fish.

Not the best of trips if I’m to be honest but you need to make your own minds up, however not one id recommend, expensive for not a lot… Definately no food, as others have suggested, and you definately do not see what’s showing on the picture, we looked hard to find at the end of the trip. Somewhat misleading and the whole trip felt a bit rushed. From start to finish done in 6 hrs and not the 7 as stated..
