Hi anybody, please suggest the nice spa at Ayuthaya, I have to stay for a while.

Thank you

Hi,

We (3 adults and 1 small child) are planning to visit Ayuthaya from BKK. Can anyone suggest us a good package tour to Ayuthaya. We intend to do a day trip.

Thanks,

Read from the news that it is flooding in Ayutthaya.

Is it still waterlogged?

Will be visiting Wat Senanimit
Tambol Banheep, Amphoe Uthai next weekend.

is it still possible to get there via tuktuk or should i just selfed the plan?

Hi,
I'm planning to cover Ayuthaya in a day & gather from different posts that hiring a car from BKK could be a good option since I'll be travelling with my wife & small kid (5yrs).
Any idea about the tentative cost & how many sites can be covered in a day.
When shall we start (to avoid heat & traffic) & by when can we expect to return to BKK?
Any tips would help.
Thanks a lot in advance...
cheers

I know the tour buses to Ayuthaya from Bangkok take you there via Bang Pa-In Summer Palace. I would probably take train to Ayuthaya and hire a tuktuk to see around. However, I think the above palace is not in the Ayuthaya town itself…
(1) How to go to this palace? Is it worth the trip?
(2) How far it is from Ayuthaya town? How to go there from Ayuthaya and how muh time it takes for a return trip to palace from Ayuthaya?
(3) How much will it cost by the mode of transport you suggest.

Thanks!!

Well...again, I need help from everyone that can help me. I', being to be disparate because I can't decide my itinerary! I have 7 days to visit Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Ayuthaya and Sukhothai. For me is being pretty difficult organise the days and I don't know if maybe I should avoid one of the cities? For me is hard to decide not visit Ayuthaya, Sukhothai or Chiang Mai : (

Can anybody recommend me what to do?

I will really appreciate any help!

Thanks to all in advance!

I was thinking of going to Ayuthaya by train (or is bus better!?) then hiring a Tuk Tuk for the day to show me aroud the sites,how much roughly is it to hire a Tuk Tuk for the day in Ayuthaya?Just so I don't get too ripped off!

hello guys! Just a short question. Is 1 whole day enough to see the major spots of Ayutthaya or do i have to spend at least 2 days?

Im planning to go here by train in the morning, and proceed to nhong khai in the evening.

Any respone and suggestions are appreciated.

We are catching the train from Chaing Mai back down to Ayuthaya. After we have looked around there we want to get across to Kanchanaburi. Has anyone done this? Any hints? I believe you have to go to Suphanburi first.

Anyone know how is the celebration and its exact dates ?

Will it be as interesting as Sukhotai or Chiang Mai(based on recent years ?)

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

We will be visiting Bangkok in February on a cruise ship - staying nearly 2 days. We will at the port of Laem Chabeng - about 2 hours out of Bangkok. We would like to visit Ayuthaya and are thinking of getting a hire car (& driver) to go directly from the port to Ayuthaya to spend a few hours and then into Bangkok for the afternoon, stay overnight in Bangkok and sightsee in Bangkok before returning to the ship the next afternoon. Does anyone have any advice whether Ayuthaya would be time well spent or is it better to just spend the 2 days in Bangkok? We haven't been to Bangkok before so am really trying to see as much as possible in a short time. In Bangkok we were wanting to see the Grand Palace, canals, the teak house and some shopping. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

at 1pm coming from Grand Palace, how to go to Aruthaya, for elephant ride?
do I need to rent a car? can find public transpo? how much?
i understand 1.5hrs travel time, is it correct?

Hi,

I have heard that Ayutthaya has a week long festival held during mid-December to commemorate its listing as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Does anyone has information about this? Thanks!

Am planning a day trip to Ayuthaya. Heard that the illuminated temples are spectacular at night. Is it possible to stay until around 9-10 PM then head back to BKK? What time does the train/bus stop operations and is it safe to travel at night back to Bkk? Thanks!!

Hi,

My family (me, hubby, 3-yr old son) will be visiting bangkok this augusta nd are planning to visit Ayutthaya, too. I've read in several posts here that train is the best way to go to ayutthaya. Are the trains comfortable also for children? How much is the fare for children? When we arrive at Ayutthaya, how do we go around the different tourist spots? Is there a taxi there that we can rent to tour as around the area? How much would it cost?

Thanks in advance for all you replies. :)

Hi, we'll be coming into Ayuthaya from the north via train, but want to continue on to Bangkok via the river. I've read about all the tours starting in Bangkok that include a river trip back, but wonder about catching a one way trip south (for 5 of us). Will it be pretty easy and obvious or should I try to book something in advance?
Many thanks!
Rob

My friends and I plan to visit beautiful Thailand next year, probably on Jan 21-25.

Would anyone tell us the most convenient way to go to Ayuthaya and Bangpa-in without blowing a big hole in our pockets?
Should we Take bus? Hire taxi? Sign-up for day tour from travel agency?

Kop khun krub!

Must we buy in advance for the train tickets or can buy on the spot at the train station when we departing?

Any idea the price of the ticket n the train station is it at Hua Lampong?

Is English a problem in getting around Ayutthaya? (e.g. hiring of a bicycle/tuk tuk/boat, food ordering)

Thanks!

Hi we are plannig to visit the city on the way from Bangkog to Chiang Mai. Is there a locker at the train station, so that we can leave the luggage there for some hours?

Thank you for any help!

We were recommended to stay at the "floating house" for at least one night while we are in Ayuthaya but the website we were given with all of the details doesn't work.

Does anyone know where we will find it?

During our next stay in Thailand we would like to visit Ayuthaya starting from Bangkok. There are any suggestions how to do it? Boat? Car?
