Walk through Ayutthaya with attention to the city’s different expressions of sacred life, from mosques and a church to temples and places of Buddhist worship. You will encounter named religious buildings, devotional images, and a Buddha head embraced by the roots of a bodhi tree. The walk is worth taking for the contrasts between traditions and for the chance to pause respectfully at each place of worship.

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.

  • A guide who talks

    Narration at every stop, starting on its own as you arrive — phone in your pocket.

  • The route, followed

    A live map with the turns called out, and a way back whenever you wander off it.

  • In four languages

    English, French, Spanish and Arabic — the words and the voice, not just the labels.

  • Or build your own

    Pick the places you actually want and the app works out the order to walk them in.

  • The unglamorous things

    Toilets, pharmacies, cash points and water, without leaving the walk.

  • No signal needed

    Download a walk before you go and it works under a souk roof or on a plane.

  • Picks up where you left off

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
