Throughout the trip expert guides explain the history and legends of the respective sights.

About Ayuthaya. From the 14th to 18th centuries, Ayuthaya served as the capital of the central kingdom of Thailand and as its cultural centre. With influences from Dvaravati, Khmer, Mon, and Lawa cultures, Ayuthaya was able to create its own arts and culture from a delicate blend of those cultures. During the reigns of 33 kings, Ayuthaya gave Thailand a great number of fine buildings, monuments and works of art. In 1767 Ayuthaya was completely destroyed by the Burmese. The remains of this island city are of extreme archaeological importance and the extensively restored historical park in Thailand was selected a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. An annual festival, Ayuthaya World Heritage Day, is held in December. Countless ruins of palaces, temples and monuments are scattered over the historical park of Ayuthaya. Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the largest in its day, within the royal palace compound. The line of its three chedis, containing the ashes of the first three kings, is in the style now known as Ayuthayan. During excavations, the Fine Arts Department of Thailand found treasure chests containing priceless objects including gold Buddhas, jewels and royal regalia which are now housed in Bangkok’s National Museum.

Today you will explore the canals of Bangkok (see description below).
In the evening you will visit the Calypso Cabaret (see description below).

Canal tour. Bangkok has long been known as the “Venice of the East” - for good reason. Bangkok and its suburbs have more than 20,000 km of canals. It is virtually impossible to explore them by yourself, which is why this exclusive tour has been specially designed to offer visitors an unforgettable insight to life on the klongs (canals) of Bangkok. Different kinds of boats are used, the Praya Express boat, long-tails and small 3-4 person boats, which are used to explore the smallest klongs. As the routing changes every week, it is difficult to give an exact program. Your guide will take you ashore to visit a local temple, village or market. On the way back we visit (if possible) a teakwood house of the Rama 5 period. A local lunch is included. Start around 08:00 hr, end around 14:30 hr both at your hotel.
Calypso Cabaret. A turbulent cabaret show. The human being's natural beauty live on stage. Decorations and costumes are stripped to the bare necessities. Choreographies are harmoniously tailored to the specific talents and abilities of our actors and actresses. This show is timeless, not catered to any markets or fashions or trends. It will give you an unseen and unheard-of experience. The revival of the art of entertainment! SHOW TIME: 8:15 P.M. and 9:45 P.M..
