Stepping off an air‑conditioned coach into the open-air ruins at Wat Mahathat, you’re met by roots that have slowly swallowed a Buddha head and the dry scent of sun on old brick. The day moves at a steady, practical pace: a guided walk around the Bodhi‑clad Buddha head, the royal compound of Wat Phra Si Sanphet with its three Ceylonese chedis, and a quick photo stop at the reclining Buddha of Wat Lokaya Sutharam. The final act is a relaxed buffet aboard the Grand Pearl as the Chao Phraya unspools images of riverside life back toward Bangkok.

Ayutthaya was founded in 1351 and became a major trading and political centre until it fell to Burmese forces in 1767; the ruins now show a mix of Khmer and Sri Lankan architectural influences.
