Transport to go to Ayutthaya / leave Ayutthaya
To go to Ayutthaya ?
To get to Ayutthaya from Bangkok, you have the choice between the train or the minivans (from the Chatuchak Minibus Station in front of Mo Chit Bus Terminal) or of course the taxi. Journey duration by rail or passenger minivan are about the same. The 3rd class train is the cheapest. But note that train tickets for short distances like this cannot be booked on the internet (actually some can, but only less than 48 hours before departure day and only on the official SRT website) but you can buy your train tickets to Ayutthaya at the station just before departure, there is always seat available, at least in 3rd class. Just allow enough extra time to buy your ticket. ATTENTION, since January 19, 2023, long distance trains from Bangkok serving Ayutthaya leave from the new railway station, the Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station, ordinary trains still leave from Hua Lamphong station.
