ANCIENT CASTLES & RUINS EXPLORATION - 3 days/ 2 nights (ACR)

 

Ayutthaya/ Phimai/ Khao Phanom Rung

 

Private Tour - departs daily

 

This tour features the ancient cities of Ayutthaya, the ancient Thai capital for 417 years; Phimai, home of ruins of fascinating ancient Khmer architecture; and Buri Ram, known as the City of Pleasantness. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in these historic sites when the Thais were forced southwards by its northern neighbors. During this period, 33 kings of different dynasties ruled the kingdom until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767.

 

This is truly a journey back in time. Sightseeing in Ayutthaya includes visits to Bang Pa-in Palace, the ruins of Vihara Phra Mongkonbopit and Wat Phra Si Sanphet; followed by an excursion to the town of Phimai, home of the world's biggest banyan tree and the Khmer Temple, similar in size and layout to the temple of Angkor Wat built in the early 12th century; and an excursion to Buri Ram to visit the famous Prasat Phanom Rung and Prasat Muang Tam Khmer-style stone castles.
