When it comes to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, the first things that come to mind are: paying respects at 9 temples, eating roti, and visiting the floating market.
However, before we proceed, let's take a detour to explore another fascinating aspect of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province.
This trip could be called a "gastronomic explosion," with a focus on satisfying the cravings of food enthusiasts. Let's dive in and explore the culinary delights!
This trip was a two-day, one-night getaway. Upon arriving in Ayutthaya, we headed straight to the Ayutthaya Central Agricultural Market.
The seafood here is incredibly fresh. I couldn't resist ordering a kilo of grilled shrimp. The succulent shrimp was a true delight.
Followed by steamed squid with lime and spicy seafood tom yum at an affordable price. This place is a must-try for seafood lovers.
Having satisfied our appetites with savory dishes, let's move on to indulge in some delectable desserts.
The local cafes here are just as delicious as those in the capital. Today, we're having lunch at Cafe Kantary.
The shop will be located on the front road of the Kantary Hotel Ayutthaya.
The interior of the shop is adorably decorated, creating a relaxed atmosphere. I must say, the food is also incredibly delicious.
Whether it's coffee or various pastries, they are all good for the heart. Dessert lovers should not miss it, and the price is also friendly.
After a satisfying meal, we checked in to our accommodation.
We stayed at the Kantary Hotel Ayutthaya.
The hotel will be located on Rojana Road, the main road leading to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.
Just 500 meters from Asian Highway 32, this location also boasts proximity to a community mall and significant historical sites.
This hotel offers three types of rooms:
- Studio Suite
- One Bedroom Suite
- Two Bedroom Suite
Studio Suite
The smallest room in the hotel (but we don't think it's small). This room is compact and well-proportioned.
Whether it's the cooking corner, bathroom, lounge table, or bed, with an area of 46 square meters.
(This is equivalent to a two-bedroom condo in Bangkok.)
One Bedroom Suite
Note: I have translated the phrase "ห้อง One Bedroom Suite" into English as "One Bedroom Suite". I have kept the HTML structure intact.
The room will be spacious and divided into separate areas for the bedroom and living room.
The apartment also features a kitchen for cooking, a washing machine for those who need it, and a shoe cabinet.
It is uncommon to find shoe storage cabinets in hotels, and even less common to find them with ample remaining space.
Amenities and facilities are fully equipped, including free Wi-Fi access in the rooms.
Two Bedroom Suite
This room is the largest in the hotel, with an impressive area of 105 square meters.
The overall layout of the room is similar to the One Bedroom Suite, but with a larger size.
The property features two additional bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds.
Two separate bathrooms for convenience. A large dining table, perfect for families.
The hotel offers a central area with amenities for guests to enjoy various activities.
Whether it's the swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, or Executive Lounge,
The hotel lounge offers a variety of amenities for guests, including newspapers and magazines.
The cafe also offers a variety of baked goods, cookies, tea, and coffee throughout the day. Opening hours are from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
The central area is located on the 16th floor, the top floor of the building, offering panoramic views.
After exploring the surrounding area of the accommodation, it was time for dinner (time to eat again) 555+
The main dining room is located on the ground floor of the hotel, which is the California Steak restaurant.
This is the same room as the breakfast room, where you can choose from a variety of Thai and international dishes.
The taste of the food is excellent. Every dish was delicious and did not disappoint.
…
The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept soundly.
After waking up early, we continued to have breakfast. The breakfast here was very substantial, with a wide variety of food to choose from.
Another aspect that we particularly enjoyed was the food, which was truly delightful.
After a hearty breakfast, we checked out of our accommodation.
After our stomachs are full, let's make merit for peace of mind before we go home.
The hotel we stayed at was conveniently located near several major landmarks.
We opted to visit a temple near our hotel.
Wat Yai Chaimongkol
This temple is considered to be one of the most historically significant and popular tourist destinations in the country.
The Historical Significance and Architectural Prowess of Wat Yai Chaimongkol
The Wat Yai Chaimongkol temple holds significant historical value within the context of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Its architectural features further enhance its importance, showcasing the artistic and cultural prowess of the era.
Admire the tallest pagoda in Ayutthaya, which we can also see from our room.
Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan
This is the translation of the Thai phrase "วัดพนัญเชิงวรวิหาร" into English.
It is the name of a significant Buddhist temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
Would you like to know more about this temple, such as its history, significance, or architectural features?
An ancient and important temple in Ayutthaya, renowned throughout the country, especially for Luang Pho To or Chao Pho Sam Po Kong.
Both Thai and Chinese Buddhists have long revered this site.
Upon arriving at the temple, one cannot help but be struck by the sheer number of people. Devotees flock to pay their respects to the revered Luang Pho To, creating a bustling and vibrant atmosphere.
And now, we have reached the final part of our review. This trip has left us all feeling full and satisfied, both physically and emotionally.
A relaxing weekend getaway for seafood and dessert lovers.
It is highly recommended to extend your stay beyond a one-day trip to fully experience the area's attractions and enjoy a relaxing vacation.
In terms of accommodation, we believe that our property offers excellent value for money, with prices starting from 2,500 baht.
The apartment offers a full range of amenities and spacious rooms with ample living space.
And another thing I liked about the Kantary Ayutthaya was the food, which was excellent.
This concludes our journey for today. Join us again soon for our next adventure.
