Meet our English-speaking guide in your hotel’s lobby and let’s depart for Ayutthaya.

09:30 We start visiting the famous Bang Pa-In Summer Palace. This Palace was first used by the Royal Family as their summer retreat during all the 17th century. However this Palace was later destroyed with the coming fall of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya and it was really restored by King Rama IV in the middle of the 19th century.

Actually most of the buildings that now exist are dated from his reign, King Rama IV regularly spent his summers here. All the restored structures represent a large variety of architectural styles with large parks around ponds and waterways. Now the only royal residence open for us to visit is the Chinese styled Wehat Chamroon Palace, constructed entirely by materials imported from China.

We will be able to visit also the Italian style palace, an interesting circular pavilion with steps leading to it’s pool, across one of the waterways.
