Ayuttaya, this is not a beach resort, and the historical capital of Thailand at the time of his passage to Siam, and therefore thinking about what would spend all holidays there, there is no particular sense if you are certainly not a historian and do not spend scientific work and research here. But here you need to look at Ayuttay. Of course, there is no monumentalism and Paphos Cambodian Angkor, it's still interesting. Yes, and a little different culture, albeit similar.
There is a sacred city in 60 kilometers from the modern capital and it is not difficult to get to it. The most extreme jolly method is on the train. They go from the Hualampong station, with a frequency of about an hour, but it is better to specify in advance, because there are breaks. Travel time is one and a half or two hours. Not very convenient, minimum comfort, but cheap. Total 15 baht and plus on arrival another 3-4 baht on the ferry, to get directly to inspection sites.
Second option, buses. Economy option, these are public transport that is departed from the Thanon Naresuan bus station (city center). An option compared to the train is more comfortable, however, knowing the traffic of Bangkok, you can safely lay on the estimated time of the watch-one and a half of a dull pushing on the road. It is better to get to the northern Terminal on the Tuk-Tuka, having traveled all the traffic jams and there already take the bus. The cost of a ticket from the center is 53 baht, but from the Northern Terminal, I will not tell you, I myself found out this way late.
From the monument of victory in Ayuttay, local analogues of the minibus are held, or minibas. The price tag is declared in 60 baht, the time of the way promise 1 hour, which almost never goes out. All the same will have to remember.
With tourist buses is all easier. Algorithm simple. Buy tickets in the travel agency (here they are full), at the appointed time you will either come, either say where to approach and forth to the plunder of the ancient capital of the kingdom of Siam.
Finally, the most romantic, according to many tourists a way, but not in my opinion, it's on a boat. Ayuttaya stands at the junction of three rivers, so on the boat slowly and quietly, with a drizzle of a guide and under the exhaust of diesel, you sail to the pier of the ancient dwelling of the Siamese kings. Since there are no messages on the water between Bangkok and Ayuttay, the boats are hired in travel agencies or with a guide, or without it. The price for the trip is about 1,400 baht, but in time this water tour will be released at 8-10.
In the very Ayuttay, it is best to move on leased transport. Scooters (150 baht per day), bicycles (40 baht per day), all this is there, everything is rented. If there is a panic fear before controlling the mechanisms, then at your service Tuk-Tuk. It is usually hired on the hourly payment, which is 250 baht, but you can persuade on one-time trips.
