Ayutthaya visit but without the River Cruise

Kenneth_K, Jun 2025

The visit to Ayutthaya was great. Seeing the old capital and the ruins was unique and interesting. Our guide, Mr. First, was informative and provided good history and excellent English. I only give this 4 stars because the scheduled cruise down the Chao Phraya river for the se ind half if the tour was cancelled due to lack of bookings, so we only did a small boat ride around the island of Ayutthaya instead. The boat ride was something, and sort of okay, but not exactly what we expected. With the recent earthquake that was experienced in Thailand, and some border issues with Cambodia and some China tensions between governments, many tourists have cancelled their visits to Thailand recently. Especially the Chinese tourists. The place is pretty empty. The cruise holds 250 passengers, but I heard only 24 were booked for our day. So they have stopped running the cruise down the main river. Still, Ayutthaya is great to see, but maybe better to pair it with a visit to riding the elephants instead, versus hoping for the cruise in the Chao Phraya river. Overall it was still a great day.
