Anonymous user:“This is worth the visit. You can skip the queue when you buy the ticket via the platform as opposed to queuing on site. A bit hot and there are tons of people but there are adequate parking space and has a wide variety of animals, animal shows and onsite activities. perfect for kids!”
Joshuazhu:“Very shocking ruins, although only 400 years old, but full of vicissitudes. If you don't want to spend money, you can take pictures outside and leave. Or walk into the alley behind the temple, which can satisfy all your imaginations of giant phobia (people with this disease may be scared to death if they go there at night)”
Jinky1991:“My friend and I had an unforgettable experience at Bang Pa-In Palace. We had rented a kart so we could easily get around. But we lost the kart and spent the rest of the time looking for our kart. I will never forget this experience at Bang Pa-In Palace 😅🤣”

Indo_backpackerz:“During the day always crowded by tourists coming with bus tour, but in the evening it is calm. Worth it to visit, give angkor wat feeling, different temples (active and non-active)”
newdavich:“Wat Phra Mahathat, Thailand, was a royal temple of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It is one of the oldest and most significant temples in the history of Ayutthaya as it housed the Buddha's holy relic. Many important royal ceremonies of the Ayutthaya era had been hosted here. When the Ayutthaya Kingdom failed in 1767, Wat Phra Mahathat was severely damaged by fire and was since abandoned. The temple is located in the area of the Ayutthaya Historical Park nowadays. Attractions in Wat Phra Mahathat of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya include remains of important old buildings such as pagodas, octagonal pagodas, royal hall, small temples, murals under a Bodhi tree, and the famous sand-stone Ayutthaya-style head of the Buddha image in a tree's root.”
Cellist:“I visited Wat Phanang Chong because it was said to have a famous Buddha statue... While looking around to see if there was a Buddha statue, I was really surprised to see a huge Buddha statue inside a small door~”
wnantha:“Looking for something to eat? Coconut sugar, sweet and refreshing, perfect for the hot weather. But I can't remember the name of the shop. The shop is on the corner.”
Please contact the attraction to confirm specific opening hours

蘑菇说:“The service is perfect, the food is very good, the environment is very good, there is a hotel upstairs, it is recommended to keep quiet. It can be used as a bar at night, the atmosphere is probably good, but I hope it is a quiet bar, otherwise the upstairs guests will be very depressed unless they like nightlife.”
JK RoadKing:“The prices are reasonable, there are river prawns of various sizes to choose from, there is a Chinese menu, and you can watch the sunset. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes at night, so pay attention to mosquito and dengue fever prevention. You can ask the clerk for mosquito repellent spray.”
山在穷游:“This restaurant is also recommended by many friends in their travel notes. It is located not far from Wat Phra Mahathat. When we arrived, it was past mealtime, so there were not many customers ordering. The pineapple rice tasted OK. But as its name suggests, they should mainly do kitchen and coffee. It's a pity that I can't do it alone. I sat here and had a taste. Although it was hot, there was no air conditioning, which was really not good.”
帝都费德勒:“It is just opposite the most famous temple in Ayutthaya, where the Buddha is embraced by a tree. The locals know about it because some of their staff also drink coffee there. The price is very affordable, the coffee is good and not expensive. The taste is even better than some famous coffee shops ☕ such as Starbucks. If you go to Ayutthaya again, you will come back here to taste the coffee. Cappuccino is recommended.”
健康美丽的芳芳:“ban mai rim nam, friends who like seafood should definitely come to this restaurant. Their seafood taste is first-class, and the environment and service are good.”
Sophia:“On the way to Ayutthaya, the driver brought us to this air-conditioned coffee shop during lunch time. It is about 8 minutes’ drive from Wat Mahathat, the most famous attraction in Ayutthaya. The small animal decoration outside the door is very cute.
Opening the menu, there are so many choices, mainly drinks and shaved ice, colorful and dazzling, and the choice difficulty immediately breaks out. I call the service boy to come over for consultation. The problem is big. The cute boy only knows Thai and doesn’t understand English, so he had to find the boss lady to translate.
It turns out that the boss lady is Thai and married to Japan in her early years. Now she returns to Thailand and comes to the coffee shop with her sister for faith. It is mainly desserts, ice drinks that girls like, with some Western staples. The decoration of the shop is particularly cute under the influence of the Japanese.
Ordered fried rice, salad, cheese baked mushrooms and cheese baked vegetables, the prices are very cheap, except for fried rice, they are all about 50 baht, equivalent to RMB 10, which is really the price of Saizeriya. Although the fried rice costs more than 100 baht, the portion is twice what we usually eat on the streets of Bangkok. The boss lady is so kind. Has she ever considered the sadness of girls who can't eat too much staple food and will get fat?
The drinks are also big. The most expensive mango milkshake is very thick and has fruit pulp on it. It costs 60 baht, about 12 RMB. If it is in Guangzhou, I guess you can only use brewed mango juice. This restaurant has such a high cost-effectiveness. If you go to Ayutthaya for an outing, you must go there for afternoon tea. The boss lady is very enthusiastic. The quality of the store is really good.”
当地向导方不方:“Night markets in Thailand are similar, just like markets, they are not open every day, so if you catch one, go and have a good meal! There are all kinds of snacks, fruits, drinks, everything, clean and hygienic, cheap, but the environment is average.”
精灵背包游侠:“The wooden boat is actually "standing" in the water, and the bottom of the boat is fixed by several underwater wooden piles to prevent it from shaking with the waves; several small islands are connected to the lakeshore by many small wooden bridges of different shapes. Although the area is not large, it creates a feeling of interconnectedness and winding paths, which attracts me to walk all the roads. To put it bluntly, this is a food and commodity city with the "floating market" culture as the stage.”
