Ayuthaya and/or Sukhothai?
Posted: Tue May 23, 2006 08:42 AM UTC

Hi, We are going to Laos this year (06)in October and to Thailand in November. I have one million questions which I am trying to answer by researching the forum.
One thing we are unsure of, as both sound good, is which temple ruins place is best, Ayuthaya or Sukhothai? We mean, really which is the best place all-round as we may have to limit our towns a bit. Thanks

They are both very impressive sites, what may help you decide is how much time you have. Ayuthaya can be done easily in one day from Bangkok. Sukothai is further away and even if you fly to Phitsanulok you should allow two days minimum to do Sukothai justice.

Thankyou very much John,
We will take your advice and stay a few days in Sukhothai, leaving Ayuthaya to a day trip from Bangkok..

We loved Ayutthaya, as John mentions, you can easily do it as a day trip from Bangkok.
We suggest going to Ayutthaya by train (be at station early and try to get first train out) and return by river boat. You can see two different aspects of country side.
Hire a Tuk Tuk and have them take you around this wonderful place all day!
Make sure and stop for lunch at a small road side restaurant rather than opting for a bigger hotel, this way you get a more authentic taste of Thailand too.
