Start with a visit to the Grand Palace, which consists of 3 major sections: the Royal Palace, Royal Office and pagodas (Wat) constructed in the 1970s of the 18th century.
These days, this place is where the majority of crucial national celebrations are held. Wat Phra Kaew is well known both for its distinctive charm of Thailand's Buddhism construction style and the holy Buddha statue, which is made of jade.
From the Grand Palace, it is quite close to reach Wat Pho, known as the oldest and largest pagoda in the city where it places over a thousand Buddha statues as well as a giant sit-back Buddha golden statue.
Our journey continues with a boat trip on the Chao Phraya River. This offers us a good view of the life of the locals living nearby.

Wat Phra Sri Sanphet was of highest importance among other temples in Ayutthaya, consisting of 3 Ceylonese-styled towers rising high next to each other.
