Day 1 : Bangkok – Phitsanuloke (- / L / -)
Today we leave behind the modern, cosmopolitan capital and journey back in time to Thailand’s ancient past. Our first call is at historic Ayutthaya, the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam. We then visit Wat Pranangcherng and the three ancient pagodas at Wat Phra Sri Sanpetch. We then call at Aranyik Knife Village which dates back to the early Rattanakosin period. This is home to a long line of blacksmiths, goldsmiths and other master craftsmen who are skilled at hand crafting knives and similar products.
