🌅🚗 “Ayutthaya 1 day, so close…but better than expected”

Just a 2-hour drive from Bangkok, you can find a simple but fulfilling vacation that you desire — Ayutthaya is still a city that makes you feel at ease every time you visit. 🛕 Start at Wat Prasat Nakhon Luang, an ancient temple with an architecture similar to Mount Sumeru, modeled after the heavens in the universe. The view is beautiful and very peaceful, perfect for starting the day with meditation. 🙏 Continue by paying respect to the 300-year-old Ganesha at the same temple. The large, light pink statue is the center of faith for locals. If you want to ask for a job or start something new, we recommend you stop by. 🍤 As it starts to get late, we don’t hesitate to have a big meal at Phongphan Seafood, a famous restaurant in Ayutthaya. The large river prawns are juicy and have bouncy meat, grilled with a fragrant aroma, served with a spicy seafood sauce. Eat it with hot rice, it’s the best part of the day! 🌊 In the afternoon, walk around the Ayutthaya Floating Market, walk around the Thai houses, and feed the animals. (Especially the goats and fish!) and watch a short historical performance around the market. It has a light retro feel and is very enjoyable. 🛍 Before heading back, stop by to buy some local souvenirs, including roti sai mai, shredded pork, Thai desserts, and fresh palm sugar to sip on during the traffic jam on the way back. #MuslimTourism #AyutthayaWorthVisiting #VisitAyutthaya
