Ayutthaya Unfiltered: Temples, Forts & Epic Finds

oin me as I explore the ancient wonders of Ayutthaya, Thailand's former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cycling through this historic island city, I uncover stunning temples, crumbling forts, and quirky hidden gems you won’t find on the typical tourist map. From the towering prangs of Wat Ratchaburana to the serene Pom Phet Fortress, Ayutthaya is a treasure trove of history and culture.

I’ll share tips on navigating the city, from renting a bike to finding the best spots for Instagram-worthy views. You’ll get a firsthand look at the iconic Buddha statue entwined in tree roots (even if I couldn’t get in to see it up close), plus some unexpected discoveries—like a shiny golden shrine with no name and a statue of Buddha being fanned by a monkey.

If you’re planning a trip to Ayutthaya, this vlog will give you a raw, unfiltered look at what it’s really like to explore this ancient city. Whether you’re drawn to the well-preserved temples, quiet riverside spots, or just want a break from Bangkok, Ayutthaya is a must-visit destination.

I am an older backpacker travelling the world proving that backpacking is not just for the younger generation.
