The 4 Best Museum & Ancient City Tickets in Thailand

1.The Ultimate Ancient city of Ayutthaya Private Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 139 reviews · from $273Our pick

Travel from Bangkok to Ayutthaya with a private guide and air-conditioned car. Visit Bang Pa-In, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Mahathat, and Wat Worachettharam, then cruise around the old city island. Guides such as Polly, Sammy, Big, and Artty have earned praise for clear English, local insight, and flexible pacing.

“My mother, sister and I went on this trip with Sammy as the guide - we highly recommend him! He spoke great English and was extremely communicative. We absolutely loved the summer palace which was a great retreat after the hectic and noisy Bangkok experience. The Ayutthaya ruins were great too though at noon, quite tiring for us. This was no problem to Sammy, who adjusted to our pace and wishes. Apart from learning a lot about the sights we've seen, Sammy was very good in explaining all questions we had about Thai history, culture and society. He also gave us good tips about places to go and see in…”
