You need time to take it all in, take a couple of days and see it by bike, you won't regret it and don't forget your camera

See my detailed review under Ayutthaya in the general listing.

Reachable by car , over 1 hour , by boat or by bus this destination is for ruin lovers. Hardly any of the historic building are intact , a stroll amongst them gives you a good idea of how the city may have been laid out. Must visit if you have atleast 4 days in Bangkok. If you have less... More

Must visit if you are at Thailand. Historical place, big area. Like walking in the history. Best time to go-sunset.Got Burmese and Thai and Sri Lanka types of temple, blended in this big ruins park.

We were so pleased at our trip to Ayuthaya. I'm not sure if it was due to flood damage, but the tourist attractions and ruins were all almost empty of tourists, and they weren't charging the usual fees as entry to the ruins. We were so pleasantly surprised at the area and would recommend a trip here to anyone.
