Ayutthaya Historical Park Office

Well worth the visit. It is the ruins of the ancient times and only some of the parts are reconstructed. I would recommend you to prepare sun protection cream, umbrella, water and more. It is really sunny and hot. Note that you won't get any grab ride on ayutthaya area. So, I would recommend to get a grab rental from Bangkok.

Worth visiting. This place oozes with history. You can visit from Bangkok in a day trip. The Buddha head in tree roots looks amazing.

Wow!! I am so glad I went to Ayutthaya... it was a last minute decision, and was one of my highlights during my trip to Bangkok. It was easy to get the train from Bangkok to ayutthaya and there were options to hire a bike or get a tuktuk around the historical park.
The history, the buildings and the energy here was 🙌🏽.
Pack sunscreen, water, a hat and your sunnies if you're visiting during summer.

Took the train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. It's such an amazing place to visit, with lots to see.
It was a great experience, well worth the visit.👍

You can visit the Ayutthaya historical park, which is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Thailand. The ruins of the old city are quite well preserved. You can visit Ayutthaya as a daytrip from Bangkok, or stay for one night while you're travelling up north.

Really amazing ancient town. Even though it needs lots of renovation, but judging by the ruin layout, it’s super impressing. Came here during their Songkran festival, elephants are out spraying water on people. It seems whole town of the people are here to have some fun! It’s more fun than in Bangkok.

Wonderful historical temple and very beautiful I highly recommend this place

So many monuments to surch，too vast
to walk，so worthy!

If you are in Bangkok, even with a limited number of days this place is worth visiting. It’s all unesco sites, the first and former capital of the Kingdom of Siam. It’s where all started. The temples, chedis and pagodas are unique! It’s highly recommended and just 1 hour drive north from Bangkok.

Absolute must visit if you are already in the Bangkok area. We took a train up to the area that was really inexpensive.

A remarkable place. Whether you go alone and just look around and wander through the ruins, or have a tour guide who gives you a deeper understanding of the history and culture, it’s the most interesting day trip you’ll likely make from Bangkok.
A visit to Ayutthaya can be inexpensive or not, starting with a ฿15 train ticket at the low end for the 1.5 to 2 hour trip. Numerous trains leave throughout the day.
Bikes can be rented, or it’s a hefty walk to the main historic sights. Plenty of tuk-tuks are at the train station, as well. A few of the places have inexpensive admission tickets but many of the ruins are free.
There are places in Ayutthaya where I am reminded of Rome’s Forum, where we likewise witness the irrevocable effects of time and the slow decay of those we put on pedestals.

Ayutthaya stands tall with its ruins to tell the heritage of Thai history. It was the Siamese capital in the ancient times which was later moved to Bangkok.
The ruins are spread over acres of land with historic significance of the pagodas, temples and statues most of which were demolished during the Burmese attack.
The biggest attraction is the Buddha face in the Banyan tree bark which should not be missed. It is called Wat Mahatat.
To cover and understand the entire area, it would take at least 3-4 days, however it can be done in one day on a run.
Recommend to visit Phak wan restaurant for food in Ayutthaya.
Other than the ruins, there are other attractions to visit such as Elephant sanctuary, floating market, etc.

Interesting historical place, old town Thailand Capital is located 70 km away from Bangkok.
The Historic City of Ayutthaya, founded in 1350, was the second capital of the Siamese Kingdom. It flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, during which time it grew to be one of the world’s largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas and a center of global diplomacy and commerce. Ayutthaya was strategically located on an island surrounded by three rivers connecting the city to the sea. This site was chosen because it was located above the tidal bore of the Gulf of Siam as it existed at that time, thus preventing attack of the city by the sea-going warships of other nations. The location also helped to protect the city from seasonal flooding.
At present, it is located in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. The total area of the Unesco World Heritage property is 289 ha.✅

This is a good place to see the ruins of the old city. The movie Mortal Kombat was filmed here, so you can take interesting photos for social networks. Also, when we were there, there were almost no tourists. You can enjoy and walk in the park nearby.

Beautiful place filled with so much history. It was founded almost 500 years ago and has many well preserved areas within the large complex of ruins. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Wat Chaiwatthanaram complex was particularly impressive. You can wander freely amongst most of ruins. Great site to take pictures. You can get the most out of your visit by getting a local guide familiar with the history.

Ayutthaya is a must see if you visit Bangkok. You can take the train (very cheap, or with airconditioning just cheap). Best way to see the historical park is by scooter: you can rent one for only 200 Bath/day!

So a beautiful the Great Kingdom in the past. Good managements and set positions of Lisa -Black pink which had been visited. As I visited on 27.7.2023

Ayutthaya is a wonderful historical haven a short hop from Bangkok.

It is an ancient site visited by millions who wish to pay respect and soak in the wonder. Most people cycle around and explore in their own time, and there usually coaches of Chinese who arrive.

Highlights include the reclining Budda, the temple ruins and the Buddha head in the banyan tree. It's a great area to just walk and explore and enjoy fresh air and sunshine
