Guided day trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya showing ancient temple ruins visited on a group tour of the historical park

Ayutthaya Day Trips From Bangkok

The old capital sits about an hour and a quarter north of Bangkok by train, close enough that one day is enough to walk among its brick chedis and monastery grounds. Most day trips here depart from central Bangkok with hotel pickup, while the train-and-bus trip meets at a station. Some itineraries add Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, a river cruise or a floating market stop (see Combo Tours With Markets).
