The temple was built in the 1357 in the reign of King U Thong, the first ruler of Ayutthaya. A large Chedi was built in 1592 to celebrate the victory of King Naresuan over the Burmese
When King U Thong built Ayutthaya as his island capital some 650 years ago, the city was to last for 417 years. Over its long history from 1350 to 1767 there were five Thai dynasties and a total of 33 kings. When people from other countries came to the kingdom they remarked on its’ size and wealth and the beauty of the place. See ruins which have survived from this once magnificent city
It is located almost right in the center of Ayutthaya City and A typical of the Ayutthaya ruins, large crumbling Chedi or Stupa surrounded by low laterite walls and rows of Headless Buddha Images. One Buddha Image-head is in a tree trunk. This is one of the old city's most impressive edifices

Amazing trip! The highlight for us during our trip to Bangkok! Ms Joy and her partner were fantastic hosts that catered to our every need! Ms Joy loves her country and its history and it shows! She is a beautiful soul with peaceful and loving energy and the temples are astonishing! Book it if you can...you won't be disappointed!
We spent two days with our guide Nutty1 in Bangkok and in Ayuthaya. She is the best, very knowledgeable, very nice person. She takes her job really seriously, tried to show us everything possible. Our driver ( sorry, I do not remember his name) also was very good. We highly recommend this company and our guide Nutty1. Thank you so much.
Alex’s service was outstanding, characterized by his punctuality and flexibility. He skillfully navigated schedule changes due to traffic and demonstrated exceptional photography skills at key locations throughout the city. We affectionately dubbed him the “boy scout” with a magic backpack, always equipped with everything we needed to enhance our trip. Additionally, he provided thoughtful touches, including travel souvenirs, restaurant recommendations, shopping advice, and even Asian pain relief ointments.
Great tour with Guide Alex and driver Tony. Kind, generous, caring. They make the tours easy and fun. We have done two. Ayathuya and Today the Floating Market and Train Markrt. They helped with any need and even found what we were looking for. Van for 6 Comfortable. Full 5!!! Will recommend
Alex was a great tour guide, knowledgable and very friendly as well as Tony the driver being a thoroughly nice chap - would wholly recommend.
From booking right through to our final drop back at our hotel this trip was efficient , organised and worth every penny. Comfortable, clean and , most importantly, good AC in our van for the day trip to Ayyutha. Our tour guide Alex was professional , courteous, very accommodating and above all patient. He is very knowledgeable, has a wonderful sense of humour and answered all of our questions. We were a mixed family group of 5 with an age range from 18- 77 years and the pace was adapted to suit all levels of mobility in our group. Our driver, Mr Yao, was a confident and calm driver . Nothing ever felt rushed on our day trip a day; we stuck to the advertised schedule throughout the day and our frequent requests for toilet breaks was readily accommodated. All in all i would highly recommend this company and also our tour guide too.
Wonderful experience. Joy was incredibly knowledgeable and had so much energy. Its hard to not spend a day with her and appreciate the wonder and beauty of her country and city. Would highly recommend this outfit for your tour needs.
We traveled in couple and had a wonderful day thanks to the perfect organization of Mr. Chob from Thai Private tour guide. In the morning and afternoon we visited Ayutthaya accompanied by the guide Ms. Joy. For the evening of the same day Mr. Chob booked us a cruise on the Chao Phraya River with dinner on the upper deck in the open sky, Ms. Joy accompanied us to the boat (round trip). Everything was perfect. Mr. Chob and Ms. Joy have thought of the smallest details to ensure our comfort. We were spoiled by attention, small surprises, professionalism and kindness. Ms Joy is a wonderful guide and person. We recommend this agency without hesitation! Petr and Nicilas
This is our second memorable tour we have done Mr Chobs tour company Your Thai Guide. This time rather than going to Bangkok our group of 6 went for the Unesco Ayuttaya day tour we went to the Ayutthaya Historical Park, Wat Mahathat and really enjoyed another longtail boat ride down the Chao Phraya River, Our guide was Aaryon Chittiwan who was excellent and spoke good English explaining the history behind Ayutthaya and about Thailand in general. However because the trip from Laem Chabang where our cruise ship, the Diamond Princess berthed we concentrated on these attractions rather than going to several other temples which proved to be a sensible move AS THE TOUR WAS VERY RELAXED. Aaryon also took us to a riverside restaurant which was a great location but I found the food to not be as great as some of the other meals we had. This is no reflection on the tour which was great and I would have no hesitation in using Your Thai Guide again and recommend to others looking for a professionally run tour.
Second time I've used this company, last time was 2018 when I did the railway market and floating market... great service, clean modern private transport, entertaining guide who balanced the adults and childrens temprements... I've used them twice and would gladly recommend them to family & friends
After having done the Bangkok City Tour and the Bangkok Tuk Tuk Tour with the company, we were so impressed with the experiences that we decided to also book the Ayutthaya Day with them. And we had, yet again, a fantastic experience. K. Aom, our guide for the City Tour and the Ayutthaya day, as well as K. Alex, our companion for the Tuk Tuk / Street Food tour, were absolutely brilliant. Knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and fun - they both made our explorations in and around Bangkok absolutely memorable experiences. The booking process is easy, the communication flawless, clear and comprehensive. We absolutely recommend this company to anybody who wishes to have personalised experiences in and around Bangkok.
It was a great day with Ms Lek in Ayutthaya. She is very knowledgeagle and friendly and showed us a lot of interesting things and places apart the main stream.
We had a wonderful tour with Ms. Aom to Ayutthaya. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and a lovely person to spend the day with. We learned a lot!
Running a tour guide agency in Prague we know a thing or two about what makes a good tour great, Mr. Chob knows too, his night tour of Bangkok was first class. It was the first of two tours we booked with Thai Tour Guide and was an excellent way to kick off our month in Thailand. The tour was more like taking a walk with an old friend, and a very knowledgeable one at that! Mr. Chob was entertaining, funny and great company, we really enjoyed our evening with him. If you're looking for a tour guide I wouldn't bother looking any further. Thank you Mr. Chob.
Had a great day with Ms. Joy. She was also very kind to our children. We did Ayutthaya with boat trip and transfer to Khao Yai National Park.In the evening we visited bat cave and saw the exodus of thousands of bats. Recommended! You can therefore determine your day completely customized.
