Bangkok, Ayutthaya & Kanchanaburi Heritage

Trip overview

Thailand's history beyond Bangkok: the ruins of Ayutthaya, the River Kwai bridge, Hellfire Pass and Erawan Falls.

The route spends 2 nights in Bangkok, 1 night in Ayutthaya and 2 nights in Kanchanaburi, so you get time for the main sights without changing hotels every day. It suits cultural holidays and educational tours, and every day can be shortened, swapped or extended.

1. Bangkok 2N
2. Ayutthaya 1N
3. Kanchanaburi 2N

Good to know

• Bangkok: Visit the Grand Palace at opening time and dress modestly; shoulders and knees must be covered.
• Ayutthaya: Visit Wat Chaiwatthanaram at sunset when the bricks glow orange.
• Kanchanaburi: Start at Erawan early; the upper tiers close in the afternoon.
