• The historic city of Ayutthaya
  • Like a two-faced Janus, this capital of the province of the same name appears to tourists in different guises. Half of Ayutthaya, filled with ruins after its destruction, is a UNESCO heritage site and is a historic park city. Modern urban life quietly takes place in its second part with limited infrastructure.
  • Staying in Ayutthaya gives a glimpse not only of modern Thai life, but also of its glorious historical past. Once it was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Siam, today it is only a modest city, included in the excursions. There are no many bars, bustling nightlife, trendy spa salons. But wishing to look at the ruins that remained of ancient Siam is enough.
  • On the vast territory of the historic city are the ruins of many temple complexes, palaces, Buddhist statues, other buildings. Of interest are the summer royal residence “Ban Pa Yin”, impressive ancient temples, which give an idea of the culture and history of the country.
• Royal Palace in Bangkok
  • When thinking about what to see in Thailand, it is worth planning a tour of the Royal Palace in the capital. The 218-square-meter palace complex was designed based on the Ayutthaya prototype. The royal family comes here only for ceremonies. Some of the buildings inside the complex are still occupied by government offices today.
  • What structures are on offer for visitors? Interesting is the Dusit Palace with its snow-white facade, decorated with a portico in the form of an arch and a peaked Thai roof. Here you can see the mother of pearl inlaid wooden throne of Rama I.
  • Chakri Throne Palace, built in the 12th century, is of interest, with its ceremonial rooms, private chambers of the Queen and urns with ashes of the kings of the Chakri dynasty.
  • The wooden pavilion Apkhonhimok is a masterpiece of Thai architecture. Its design is simple, but combined with magnificent decorations it seems simply magnificent.
  • To the east of the palace buildings are the Sivalai Gardens with King Rama IV’s private temple, decorated with light mosaics and lined with gray marble.
• San Camphaeng Hot Springs
  • For those interested in Thailand’s health-enhancing attractions, the San Kamphaeng hot springs are the place to go. Located on 40 acres of green space, they are known for their restorative effects.
  • Year-round, sulfur-rich water rises from the ground at a temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius. There are separate rooms or pools for baths, and here you can have a session of real Thai massage.
  • In addition to taking therapeutic and recreational baths, there are many restaurants on the territory of this park, and in the vast areas planted with grass, tourists often have picnics. If you wish, you can join a bicycle tour, raft down the river, or ride elephants.
  • In addition to the springs, the area is famous for its silk mills and the abundance of handicrafts made in the Bo Sang artisan village nearby.
• The White Temple
  • During the tour, try to get to the White Temple, the most unusual Buddhist structure in the north of the country. The famous Thai artist Chalermchayu Kositpipat began its construction in 1997 and continues to this day. Rejecting funds from sponsors, he uses only his own savings, thus eliminating any outside influence on the design of the structure.
  • The temple itself and the sculptures in its surroundings are decorated with pieces of mirror and are a pleasing color of marble. The path leading to the entrance is called “the road from hell to heaven” because of the characteristic sculptural design: the hands of the narakas stretching out of the ground, the fangs of the demon Rahu, the guards, the bridge over the pond separating the worlds.
  • In the temple, besides the two statues of Buddha, you can see murals on the theme of the struggle between good and evil and atypical for the temple heroes: Neo from “The Matrix”, Batman, the Jedi.
  • There is a pond with fish, many sculptures, and an art gallery of the founder-artist himself. The roof of the temple is decorated with 4 animals symbolizing the different elements.
• The historic city of Sukhothai
  • A few hours from the capital and you’re in Sukhothai, the historical center of the country. It used to be the first capital of the country.
  • Modern Sukhothai is a small town. But Sukhothai, known as a tourist attraction in Thailand, is 10 km from the first. The jewel of the place is Sukhothai Historical Park. Its territory is divided into 5 sections. The central part concentrates modern metropolitan life. It is here that the greatest temple of Wat Mahathat, topped with a spire, surrounded by lotus lakes and consisting of 200 stupas and dozens of buildings.
  • In the north of the city is the oldest of the temples of Wat Phra Phai Luang, containing elements of Hinduism and Buddhism and consisting of 3 high stupas. Here, in the northern part you can see a tall (15 m) statue of Buddha 11 m wide.
  • The main temple in the east of the city is Wat Chang Lom. At its base are statues of elephants. At the top of the hill is the Wat Saphan Khin temple, a stone-paved road leads to it.
