About
Looking for a Private Driver that can take you around?
Discover two of Thailand’s most enchanting and contrasting cultural experiences in a single day. Your journey begins with a peaceful morning at the Red Lotus Floating Market, where you’ll glide through a sea of blooming pink lotus flowers on a traditional boat. Here, you can capture stunning aerial photos via drone (optional) and soak in the tranquil countryside atmosphere. Explore local stalls and taste the rare Thai dessert “Miang Kham Kleb Bua,” a delicacy wrapped in lotus petals that captures the flavors of Thai tradition.
In the afternoon, travel to the UNESCO-listed Ayutthaya Historical Park, the former royal capital of Siam. Your first stop is Wat Lokayasutha, home to a massive 42-meter-long Reclining Buddha resting serenely in open air. Continue to the iconic Wat Mahathat, where the revered Buddha head entwined in tree roots awaits — a powerful image symbolizing nature and devotion. Wander the ruins of this once-vast temple complex and imagine its ancient glory.
Next, ascend the steep staircase of Wat Rachaburana, known for its hidden crypt and intricate stucco work, offering both beauty and mystery. Finally, stand in awe at Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Ayutthaya’s grandest temple, renowned for its three towering chedis — once part of the royal palace grounds.
With seamless round-trip transport and hotel pickup included, this small-group, transport-based tour is perfect for travelers who want to explore Thailand’s nature and history without the rush of large group schedules.
