The itinerary was a little rushed due to traffic jams, but the tour guide still took us to cover all the points, and some of the time was shortened. But this is a matter of transportation. The tour guide and driver are both good!

This is a must-do when you are in Thailand. For some reason, there were only two of us in the join-in tour so it was a lot more efficient and manageable. Ratima, the guide, also made everything clear. Questions about the places and the old practices were answered. The transport from and to your place is also very convenient. Definitely recommended.

Visiting Wat Mahathat and Wat Chaiwatthanaram in Ayutthaya, Thailand is a journey full of history and culture. Wat Mahathat attracts tourists with its famous Buddha head in a tree, which is surrounded by tree roots, symbolizing the integration of nature and humanity. Although most of the Buddha statues in the temple are headless, the solemnity of the past can still be felt1. Chaiwattanaram Temple is famous for its Khmer-style architecture and is known as the Thai version of Little Angkor. The well-preserved pagodas and spectacular ruins here make people feel like they are in the glorious era of ancient times. Visiting these two ancient temples, you can not only appreciate the exquisite architecture, but also feel Thailand's rich history and culture. The tour guide also narrated the history of the Ayutthaya Dynasty during the tour. He was very attentive. He also got to know the famous Thai TV series "Twins". It was a great experience.

Prepare for long walks as the places to visit are huge and if you really wanna see whole of it, you need to roam around. it is usually hot so it is better if you have portable fans with you. be prepared as well to pay for the entrance tickets and the rent for a golf cart.

The tour guide Jimmy will briefly introduce some of the history of Thailand to make the entire sightseeing trip more interesting. Although the tour guide is an English-speaking tour guide, he can also speak Chinese to communicate with the group members. It is recommended.

The tour on Friday is very crowded on the way back. It may be better to avoid it. I participated alone, but the participants were friendly and it was a lot of fun.
