Spend the night in a hotel, included of course. SailIing down Bangkok’s main river on a luxury temple cruise, then a biking tour through Ayutthaya’s Historic Park. Or you can book an amazing 2-days/1-night combo from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and Khao Yai National park (about $300, you can book that here). If can choose to do thisand travel from Bangkok to Ayutthaya independently, same as the budget option above So instead of having a 1 day Ayutthaya day trip, you’re taking a 2-day/1-night. So traveling there leisurely and spending the night there is also a great option.
THE LONG OPTION: Spend 1 night in AyutthayaĪyutthaya is beautiful, and it’s a relaxing escape from the madness of Bangkok.

This is a good option if you’re on a super tight budget, but it’s pretty tiring, takes a lot more time and you have to negotiate directly with the tour guys in Ayutthaya, not a fun experience! Still, if you’re a backpacker, it’s probably the best option, and certainly the cheapest. The next option is travelling yourself from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, sorting out a tour when you get to Ayutthaya and then getting back from Ayutthaya to Bangkok again that late afternoon or evening. This is the best option.įANCY: If you’re fancy, you can do a private trip to Ayutthaya for about $140 instead, here (personally I think the group tour is better value though). MID-RANGE: Then for an extra $10, the same as the above but also including a boat-ride back to Bangkok including lunch, you can book that one here ($50). Then depending on which tour you choose, you’ll also get to see Ayutthaya of course, but also a floating market, the summer palace and for the $50 option, also lunch a boat ride hom.ĬHEAPEST: The cheapest option is Ayutthaya, the Summer Palace and the floating market. Basically, you’ll get picked up from your hotel or hostel in Bangkok, and driven to Ayutthaya. Personally, I think this is the best option, and it’s certainly the most time-efficient.
