Exploring Thailand's Ancient Capital City AYUTTHAYA (best day trip from Bangkok!)

  • Ayutthaya is one of Thailand's most important historical attractions and yet not that many tourists actually know anything about it. Just an hours drive outside of Bangkok lies the incredible ancient city that was once Thailand's (formerly known as Siam) capital city. Unfortunately when the Siamese army lost to the Burmese army, the city was left for ruin. Thankfully over time it began to be restored and is now a UNESCO world heritage site. If you are visiting Bangkok, I would highly recommend taking a day or two to visit this incredible place because it is like stepping back in time to the kingdom of Siam.

    Great video. I'm a little surprised that you didn't book a private tour like you and your father did last year. I seem to remember you saying that it was the only way to get enough time to film what you wanted, without the need to be rushed to stay with a group. It is a shame that the site was partially destroyed by the Burmese Army when they defeated the army of Siam. The need to prove dominance by destroying your enemies culture frankly escapes me. Also I finally learned why Siam became Thailand.
    Notwithstanding the aforementioned destruction, the site is still very impressive and you showcased it well in this viewers opinion.

    Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Ayutthaya as we did. We took a tour as well. The problem with tours is there is never enough time to enjoy each individual attraction. If only they
    had a Hop on / Hop off bus. that allows you to explore it on your own. As always, a great and informative video , Alina. Hugs🫂 and Kisses💋 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki

    Best way to explore Ayutthaya is on your own on a bike. Bike rentals were really cheap. In 2016, i think it was 50 baht for a whole day. We took a train from Bangkok and the bike rental place were just outside the train station. I think there was a short ferry ride but you can take your bike on the ferry. Parking is never a problem. You just need to use a lock which comes with the bike. It was indeed a bit sunny which is why a hat is very important.

    Well, nice footage as always on your channel. The amazing thing here is the building material, all the little red stone; must be several millions per What. Ayutthaya is also the city which uses these stones as pavement for the pedestrian walkways. I have not seen this anywhere else in Thailand. If you want to spend more time, stay in Ayutthaya and rent a bicycle from the hotel + an umbrella to be in the shade all the time. That would be typical Thai style, riding the bicycle with an umbrella in one hand.

Beside the laying down Buddha was a local restaurant with the best bad Thai that locals only go to with very cheap prices.

You can ride on the elephant, check out the crocodile, and various animals and market with various goods. You go on the river and check out the great scenery and shop. I believe it's called Damnoan Saduak market and Kha market.

    Thanks so much for making this video! I visited Ayutthaya and Bangkok last year in May and as a Canadian I reaaally struggled with the heat and walking from place to place and doing a self-tour. Really tested my limits and felt bad that I had such bad memories of that day and time spent in Bangkok as a whole. So nice to hear about the history- feel like I need to go back now (at a different time of year and take a tour lol) and appreciate it for how cool it is!
    Remember seeing the Buddha head embedded in the tree- so cool to hear the story!
