“Really enjoyed yesterday's tour to Ayutthaya! Our guide (the man from the photo) was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of curios facts about Buddhist culture.

“Can see why there are mixed reviews. The dance was literally just one girl just randomly doing it on our small boat. It was interesting to watch but a bit awkward. Dinner was decent, was a sort of help yourself type thing from shared plates in the middle of the table. You pay extra for drinks. We missed Wat Chakrawatrachawat. I don’t feel like the tour guide said very much. Overall pretty average tour. Like it’s cheap when considering it in GBP but considering prices you pay here, it seems pricy for what you get”
