"If you're looking for an offbeat destination that has it all - from rich cultural history to breathtaking natural landscapes, then Ayutthaya in Thailand is your perfect pick! As a solo female traveller with dietary restrictions, I can assure you that Ayutthaya has plenty of Halal-friendly and lactose-free food options that will tantalize your taste buds. But that's not all - Ayutthaya is home to hidden gems that will satisfy your wanderlust. Take a stroll through the ancient temples and ruins that have been beautifully preserved. As a photography enthusiast, I was blown away by the intricate details and stunning architecture that made for some picture-perfect shots. If you're up for a bit of adventure, head out for some hiking and nature trails. You can explore the stunning Khao Yai National Park or take a relaxing boat ride along the Chao Phraya River. Art lovers can immerse themselves in the local culture by visiting the Ayutthaya Historical Study Centre, which houses some of the most exquisite artworks and antiques. And, of course, you can't leave Ayutthaya without experiencing the local festivals and traditions, such as the Loi Krathong Festival, which involves floating lanterns on the river. So, pack your bags and get ready to be charmed by Ayutthaya's unique blend of history, nature, art, and culture. Trust me; you won't be disappointed!"
"Travel back in time to Ayutthaya, a place where ancient temples and captivating ruins tell stories of Thailand's rich history. Imagine exploring a UNESCO World Heritage site with intricate palaces, towering spires, and serene Buddha statues. Ayutthaya's charm lies in its ability to transport you to a bygone era, where you can wander among the remnants of a glorious past and uncover the secrets of a once-thriving kingdom."

"Established around 1350, Ayutthaya was established as the second Siamese capital following Sukhothai. In the 18th century, it was ravaged by the Burmese, leaving behind remnants that include the prang (reliquary towers) and enormous monasteries, offering a glimpse into its former magnificence. If you are passionated about history, you should not miss this place! "

In late 2024 I finally went for the backpacking trip I was planning since 2020 - month in Thailand. And it was magical. From paradise beaches to jungle hikes and Buddhist temples Thailand has so much to offer I'm already looking forward to coming back. But I'm a backpacker that does try to make dollar stretch. I love traveling and spend months at the time on the road and budgeting definitely helps. In this guide I'll share with you my itinerary, sharing all places I stayed, all trains I took, all lessons I learned and all the costs so you can plan your perfect trip and not break the bank. My final cost for 26 days was 454€, and that includes everything from accommodation to transport, food and activities (except international flights and diving). I'll share with you exactly what those costs were and how you can replicate this budget trip. The trip was originally planner as solo trip but a friend joined me in the end. However its 100% suitable for single traveller or pair and I would also recommend it for solo female travellers. What you'll find in the guide ✔️day to day itinerary ✔️public transport information both local and long distance ✔️accommodation recommendations based on places I stayed ✔️activities to do ✔️restaurant recommendations (vegetarian) ✔️all helpful tips and tricks I learned along the way (food, money, drinking water, hidden fees and more)
