Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within easy reach of The Aiyara. First, Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, just 10 minutes away by car, is a stunning 19th-century summer retreat built for King Chulalongkorn. The grounds blend Thai, European, and Chinese architectural styles, with manicured gardens, gilded pavilions, and a picturesque lake that makes for perfect photos. Second, Ayutthaya Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site 20 minutes from the hotel, is home to the iconic ruins of Siam’s ancient capital, including the famous Wat Mahathat with its famous Buddha head entangled in tree roots, and the sprawling grand temple complex of Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Third, Wat Niwet Thammaprawat, a hidden gem tucked on an island in the Chao Phraya River just 15 minutes away, features a stunning Gothic-style church built in the 19th century that looks like it was plucked from the English countryside, surrounded by quiet, shaded gardens.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February), when cool weather draws crowds of temple-goers. If you don’t have a car, take advantage of the hotel’s bicycle rental to explore nearby Bang Pa-In village and riverside paths, or book the hotel’s shuttle service to central Ayutthaya for a flat fee. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes for temple visits, and remember to cover your shoulders and knees to enter religious sites. After a long day of sightseeing, book an evening dip in the hotel’s hot tub to soothe sore muscles, or enjoy a sunset drink from your balcony overlooking the quiet garden.
