General Information about Ayutthaya

Capital of the kingdom for four centuries, Ayutthaya and its region have kept many traces of that glorious past. The ruins of the most visited temples are integrated into the actual city ( this aprt is often called the Historical park of Ayutthaya ), others are in the the periphery. In addition to the Wat Phra Si Sanphet with its three chedis that is the symbol of the city, there is a quieter area Wat Mongkol Bophit with reclining Buddha and a few temples and sitting Buddhas. Don't miss, a little outside of this area ) the very well preserved and beautiful Wat Yai Chai Mongkhol. Its two giant stone Buddhas on both sides of the main chedi and the square of Buddhas statues make it one of the most remarkable of Thailand. One a the favorite of thailandee's team ! Note that it can sometimes be quite cold at night in Ayuthaya. Take your precautions.

Practical information about Ayutthaya

To come to Ayutthaya, we recommend the train, slightly longer than the bus ( 1:30 to 2 hours depending on the trains), ideally in third class. It is more practical even if trains are always late in Thailand and taking the train in third class, is something to do. Once arrived at Ayutthaya train station, take the street almost opposite to the station. At the end of the street, you can take a boat to cross the river and arrive in the area where most of guesthouses are.
