1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Ayutthaya is a historic city in central Thailand, located about 80 kilometres north of Bangkok on an island formed by the confluence of three rivers. It served as the capital of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya from 1350 to 1767 and at its peak was one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its striking temple ruins, headless Buddha statues, and ancient chedis that pepper the landscape. Travellers visit for cycling or tuk-tuking between its atmospheric archaeological sites, river cruises, and as a rewarding day trip or overnight escape from Bangkok.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Ayutthaya, Thailand yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
