Day 2: Bangkok – Ayutthaya with Elephant Safari (B,L)

Breakfast at hotel and then we will start an amazing tour upcountry to Ayutthaya. This easy day trip gives a superb introduction to the architectural heritage of the ancient capital Ayutthaya. A thriving trade and political capital of Siam for over 400 years, Ayutthaya is filled with palaces, temples and religious monuments of great historical and cultural significance – even in their ruined state. It is fair to say that no study of Thai architecture or art is complete without a trip to this once glorious capital, which gave birth to the unique U-Thong style. The tour begins with a guided stroll around the splendid Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and its landscaped gardens, peppered with curious buildings that blend turn-of-the-century European architectural styles with Thai and Chinese styles. On the way back, we make a stop at an Elephant Camp. Get in touch with these wonderful animals. Despite their size you will easily find out, Elephants are very sensitive, intelligent, clever and careful. You have the chance to ride on an Elephant and also feed them. After this exiting stay we will return back to Bangkok. The rest of this day is free for your own. Overnight in Bangkok

(Please wear proper clothes as you will visit sacred places. Shoes should be easy to put on and take off. Please DON’T wear read clothes, while being together with the Elephants)

Besides, the zoo has several other animals such as crocodiles, ostriches, single hump camels, kangaroos and an aviary of exotic birds. Exciting shows are Crocodile wrestling, Kenya aerobics, Amazing Circus and Pig Racing. Starting five years ago Sri Racha Tiger Zoo became the biggest zoo of its kind in the entire world providing a home for over 200 of these big and powerful animals. Set up in a beautiful natural atmosphere approximately 30 km outside of Pattaya the zoo is undoubted one of the best day attraction in the Eastern Seaboard.
While tigers are the main reason for the majority of the visitors there are many other exciting attractions such as

• Scorpion Queen, a young lady with plenty of poisonous scorpions on her clothing,
• Crocodile eggs breaking festival (May to August),
• Amazing Circus and crocodile wrestling show
• Pig racing

The Happy Family, the friendship between a tiger, a pig and a dog, living together makes it a ‘must to be seen’ place.
As usual for a zoo you will find many animals as camels, deer, wallabies, elephants, Peruvian guinea pigs and more than 90,000 crocodiles.
If you like you are able to touch and feed some of those animals and have your pictures taken.

Situated at Pattaya, it complements the many other educational and recreational activities available at this beautiful seaside resort.
At Underwater World Pattaya, visitors are taken on a ‘voyage to the bottom of the sea’ , which begins at the sandy beaches and shallow rock pools at the water’s edge. From here, they start their descent, passing brightly colored corals and all kinds of exotic ocean-dwellers along the way. Finally they come to a spectacular 100 meter-long tunnel with acrylic windows, home to great shoals of fish, prowling predators and a host of other creatures that inhabit the ocean depths.
