Overview

Visit 2 cities in one day trip from Bangkok.

During this tour we will visit some historical temples in Ayutthaya and afterwards continue to Lopburi to visit the famous monkey-temple.

Ayutthaya, a kingdom that existed from 1350 to 1767, is a fantastic destination for culture lovers. During these four centuries, the country grew into the nation of Siam (the former name of Thailand), which roughly occupied the territory of modern Thailand, with the exception of the Lanna kingdom in northern Thailand.

Lopburi is one of Thailand’s oldest cities, being inhabited continuously since the Dvaravati era, that started 15 centuries ago. During the 10th century Lopburi became part of the Khmer empire. The Khmers built a number of impressive monuments, many of which still exist today.
During the reign of King Narai the Great in the second half of the 17th century, Lopburi was made the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 10 PERSONS.

We started the tour on time. Our guide (Piya) was very knowledgeable and energetic. We saw beautiful temples and he took beautiful pictures of us. Monkey temple didn’t meet my expectations, as they live in very poor conditions and the town itself is filthy and there is nothing else to do besides feeding the animals.

It was a great experience and well organized. The guide Piya was really nice and explained us a lot of things. The tour started in Bangkok and took us to Ayutthaya Where we visited three temples. We had lunch together and we got to Lopburi to have fun with monkeys and a lot of photos too :) Highly recommended!

The guide is very friendly and teaches a lot of things about what we see! He also takes us some great pictures in perfect spots! Cherry on the cake is the meeting with the monkeys where you can feed them and take some pictures with them!

It’s always nice when the tour guide appears to love what they do. Piya was excellent and was very knowledgeable. He also took really good pictures for us. It was definitely a tour worth going on. The monkeys were a bit scary, but it was an experience of a lifetime.
