The Tanrin Guesthouse & The Seven Seas Restaurant
Your hangout near to Ayutthaya Railway Station
Discover the life on Ayutthaya’s riverside!
The Seven Seas Restaurant offer boat-trips on a beautifully renovated 100 year old boat, the
“Bua Luang” (“Royal Lotus”), or an
alternative boat if not available.
It was formerly a rice-barge that brought the harvests from the fields to Ayutthaya. Its construction is made out of one big tree!
Our tours can be individually designed
We strongly recommend our standard tour around the main Ayutthaya island:
The tour starts on the Pasak river near to the Seven Seas restaurant. First of all, we will go north up the Pasak river, then change to the Lopburi river and make our first stop at the Elephant Kraal.

The elephant kraal
An elephany bathing
Visit the more than 100 elephants at the elephant kraal, and see them taking an evening bath in the river. (We stay around 20 minutes).
The tour goes on into the Khlong Muang, where you can spot the real daily riverside-life of Ayutthaya - as we pass through slowly, you will have time to wave to the children swimming in the river, and watch the fisherman throwing his net out of his backyard-garden.

Arriving at the Chaophraya river we have different choices
On the weekends you can visit the floating market at Wat Tha Ka Rong or you can make a stop at Wat Chai Wathanaram and enjoy the impressive atmosphere of this ancient site, when the sun is just going down behind it. Another possibility is to make the second stop at Wat Phanan Choeng.
