About this experience

The Ayutthaya City Culture Bicycle Ride is a guided cycling tour of Ayutthaya, the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam, located around 80 kilometres north of Bangkok. The three-hour ride covers the city's most significant historical sites, including Ayutthaya Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1991. Riders set off from the ThailandBiking Ayutthaya Branch on U Thong Road, with a bicycle, helmet, and insurance all provided from the start.

A stop at Chao Phrom Market offers the chance to try local street food, and the tour closes with a ferry crossing of the Pasak River. Entry fees to Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet are included, along with a Thai snack, water or soft drinks, a boat crossing, and a photo or video record of the ride.
