Bang Pa-In Summer Palace by Train and Boat
Take a journey along Thailand’s first train line and then on its most important and historic river.
Take a journey along Thailand’s first railway line that was built in 1896 between Bangkok and the city of Bang Pa – In, site of the former Royal Summer Palace. After your guided tour around the Royal Summer Palace you will return to Ayutthaya by traditional long-tail boat.
At 08.00 Meet your Ayutthaya Boat and Travel guide at Ayutthaya Railway station, board the train and depart for Bang Pa-In. On arrival at Bang Pa-In visit Wat Chumphon Nikayaram, an historic royal temple with seven beautiful Buddha images and two twelve-indented stupas dating back to the beginning of the late Ayutthaya period.
Move on to the Summer Palace and take a guided tour of this magnificent complex with one of our experienced English-speaking guides. Afterwards visit Wat Nivet, the only temple in Thailand built in the style of a Christian church. Afterwards take a long-tail boat back up the Chao Phraya River to Ayutthaya to complete a journey that leaves only a very small carbon footprint.
To avoid our boats having to make journeys without passengers, this tour also operates in the opposite direction in afternoon, departing at 13.00.
The duration of the tour is about 4½ hours in either direction.
