TOUR OVERVIEW Price from: 5,500 - 26,950 Baht
Travel along the historical route to Chiang Mai and discover Thailand's ancient kingdoms of Ayutthaya, Phitsanulok, and Sukhothai. This tour from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is an excellent alternative to traveling directly, as we visit some of Thailand's famous temples, wats, and historical heritage that most travelers miss on the Bangkok-Chiang Mai route.
TOUR DESCRIPTION
Day 1 – Bangkok to Phitsanulok: We will pick you up from your hotel in Bangkok and begin our journey with a 1.5-hour drive to Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Siam. Once considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Ayutthaya was the heart of the flourishing Siamese kingdom on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. You will see the remains of over 400 stone temples and Buddha statues. Afterwards, we continue north to the important historical city of Phitsanulok. There, we will visit the city's most important temple, Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat (Wat Yai), as well as a small bronze foundry for Buddha statues. Here, you will have the opportunity to watch the artisans creating reproductions of the Phra Buddha Chinnarat statues and observe the casting process (closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and public holidays). At the end of the day, we will return you to your hotel in Phitsanulok. We recommend spending the evening at the local night market. Overnight stay.
Phitsanulok, Day 2 – From Phitsanulok to Chiang Mai: We will pick you up from your hotel in Phitsanulok and drive to Sukhothai. Sukhothai was founded in the 13th century as Thailand's first truly independent kingdom. We will explore Sukhothai's Old City, where you can admire the magnificent remains of temples and Buddha statues in Sukhothai Historical Park. Afterwards, we will continue to Lampang Province, where we will visit the city's most important temple, Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. Following our visit to Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, we will drive to Chiang Mai and transfer you to your hotel.
