Ayutthaya Day Trip

Ayutthaya is only about one hour north of Bangkok and it definitely feasible to spend a day there from Bangkok. Most hotels will offer a day trip to Ayutthaya but this tends to be expensive. If you are adventurous, it is easy to do this day trip on your own, like I did. It is easy to take a mini van there, hire a tuk tuk driver when you arrive then return to Bangkok by mini van again.

Ayutthaya was the original capitol of Thailand until it was invaded and destroyed by the Burmese in the 1700’s. The ruins that exist today are outstanding and worth the trip if you have the time.
