Bangkok: Samut Prakan Ancient City and Erawan Museum Ticket

2.Samut Prakan Ancient City and Erawan Museum Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 73 reviews · from $19Best value

You’ll explore Samut Prakan Ancient City, a huge open-air museum with 116 Thai monuments, then add the Erawan Museum if your ticket includes it. Expect long distances, hot sun, and plenty of walking, so plan for a golf cart, bicycle, or tram. The $19 starting price is attractive, but check exactly which option you are buying.

“Der Park ist wirklich nett gemacht. Man kann mit dem Golfcar über die Wege huschen. Führerschein oder Pass mitbringen. Hat 350 Baht gekostet für die erste Stunde und dann jede angefangene 100 dazu. Die Fahrräder waren viel zu alt. Wir waren 2 Stunden dort. Das Museum ist weiter entfernt, haben wir leider nicht gewusst und dann war nicht mehr die Zeit, um noch dort hinzufahren. Lohnen sich 16€? Naja. Es ist liebevoll gemacht und wenn man die Gebäude nicht in echt sehen wird oder gesehen hat, ist es sicher noch schöner.”

3.Ayutthaya Private Guided Day Tour, 4 Ancient Temples

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 57 reviews · 1 day · from $134

Travel from Bangkok to Ayutthaya in a private sedan, SUV, MPV, or van with an English or Thai-speaking guide. Visit Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, and Wat Chaiwatthanaram, with entrance tickets, tolls, parking, fuel, and hotel pickup included. Expect a flexible, history-focused day, though guide quality and tour length can vary.

“What a great trip! Our guide and driver were both really friendly. We learnt a lot of history behind the temples - as well as Thai customs and beliefs; some of which we took part in, which we would not have been able to do without our guide. She also took lots of photos for us - and even helped our son to identify some Thai birds! Definitely beyond expectations!! We had a good amount of time at each stop. The restaurant for lunch was beautiful. Transport was great. I would highly recommend this day out. Thank you!”
