This morning we will visit the Grand Palace, one of the most beautiful samples of an ancient Siamese<br />
court which used to be the residence of the Kings of Bangkok. Here you will see Palaces which were<br />
used for different occasions: the Funeral Palace, the Reception Palace, the Throne Hall, the Coronation<br />
Hall, the Royal Guest House and the beautiful Emerald Buddha Temple. We continue to WAT PHO<br />

River House, one of the finest restaurants in Bangkok.<br />
This afternoon travel by long-tailed speed boat on the picturesque Chao Phraya River and Klongs<br />
(canals) to see the serene family homes and temples along the water-ways which gives this city the<br />

We travel through the countryside north of Bangkok to one of Thailand’s greatest treasures, Ayutthaya,<br />
once the centre of the Siamese Kingdom. It was once glorified as one of the biggest cities in Southeast<br />
Asia. During the seventeenth century, most foreign visitors, traders and diplomats alike, claimed<br />
Ayutthaya to be the most illustrious and glittering city ever visited. The Kingdom of Ayutthaya had<br />
immense wealth, military might, culture, and international <strong>com</strong>merce in the sixteenth century when the<br />
Kingdoms territory was extended far beyond present day Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar.<br />
Behold the Summer Palace of King Rama V with its mixture of Thai, Chinese and Gothic architecture,<br />
a well-preserved monument to a former historical period. A surprise awaits as the local ‘Elephant<br />
