Lopburi Monkey Temple & Ayutthaya Old City Tour From Bangkok
Visit 2 cities in one day trip from Bangkok.
During this tour we will visit some historical temples in Ayutthaya and afterwards continue to Lopburi to visit the famous monkey-temple.
Ayutthaya, a kingdom that existed from 1350 to 1767, is a fantastic destination for culture lovers. During these four centuries, the country grew into the nation of Siam (the former name of Thailand), which roughly occupied the territory of modern Thailand, with the exception of the Lanna kingdom in northern Thailand.
Lopburi is one of Thailand’s oldest cities, being inhabited continuously since the Dvaravati era, that started 15 centuries ago. During the 10th century Lopburi became part of the Khmer empire. The Khmers built a number of impressive monuments, many of which still exist today. During the reign of King Narai the Great in the second half of the 17th century, Lopburi was made the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 10 PERSONS.

- Regarding our visit to Lopburi: You must always remember that, no matter what, monkeys are wild animals, not pets.
