Ayutthaya Seven-Temple Classic Route
Ayutthaya Seven-Temple Classic Route
Thailand's most bike-friendly UNESCO World Heritage site offers completely flat 13-20km circuit covering major temple highlights.
Wat Mahathat (Buddha head in tree roots) deserves 1+ hour exploring expansive grounds. Wat Ratchaburana (300m away) adds 30-45 minutes for crypt exploration. Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit provides large bronze Buddha viewing (free entry). Wat Phra Si Sanphet represents most important temple on former Grand Palace grounds. Wat Phra Ram offers scenic ruins with pond. Wat Lokayasutharam features giant 42-meter reclining Buddha (free). Wat Chaiwatthanaram provides stunning Khmer architecture and photogenic sunset spot.
Day pass ฿220 covers multiple temples versus ฿50 individual entries. Bicycle rental ฿50-100/day from numerous shops near train station.
Monika's Tip
"The ฿220 day pass pays for itself after 5 temples (versus ฿50 individual entries). If you're cycling the full circuit hitting 6-7 temples, buy the pass at first temple immediately. Saves money and prevents repeated ticket booth stops."
