The train takes just 1.5 hours from Hua Lamphong. This guide covers all options and why the train is the obvious choice.<\/p>\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/agent.12go.asia\/tools\/widget\/country_widget.js\"><\/script>\n<onetwogo-country-widget\n  country=\"TH\"\n   width=\"400\" agent=\"16173966\" lang=\"en\" fxcode=\"USD\" wl=\"12go.asia\">\n<\/onetwogo-country-widget>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Bangkok\/Ayutthaya\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=bangkok-ayutthaya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Bangkok \u2192 Ayutthaya tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Train Bangkok to Ayutthaya (Recommended)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frequent trains depart from Bangkok Hua Lamphong station (or Bang Sue Grand Station) to Ayutthaya \u2014 approximately 1.5 hours, fares from ~20\u201360 THB (~$0.60\u20131.80 USD) in 3rd and 2nd class. Trains run throughout the day, roughly every 30\u201360 minutes. Ayutthaya station is right in the center of the historic island \u2014 rent a bicycle (~50\u201380 THB\/hour) or take a tuk-tuk (~200 THB\/hour) to explore the temples. The cheapest and most atmospheric way to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Bangkok\/Ayutthaya\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=bangkok-ayutthaya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Bangkok \u2192 Ayutthaya tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Minibus or Minivan from Bangkok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minibuses depart from Mo Chit (Northern Bus Terminal) or Victory Monument to Ayutthaya \u2014 approximately 1.5\u20132 hours depending on traffic, fares from ~60\u201380 THB. Faster than the train only if traffic is light (early morning). Drops at Ayutthaya bus terminal rather than the center \u2014 requires a further tuk-tuk transfer (~50 THB). Not as convenient as the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 3: Organized Day Tour from Bangkok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organized day tours from Bangkok include transport + guided temple visits + lunch \u2014 from ~$25\u201350 USD per person. Some tours add a river cruise along the Chao Phraya to approach Ayutthaya by boat. Convenient and good value if you want context and a guide, though going independently by train is just as easy and much cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#x2139;&#xfe0f; Ayutthaya\\&#8217;s ruins are spread across a 2 km island \u2014 too far to walk everything comfortably. Bicycle rental (~50 THB\/hour, available near the station) is the most enjoyable way to explore. Tuk-tuk tours (~300\u2013400 THB\/hour) cover more ground if you\\&#8217;re short on time. Dress modestly for temple visits \u2014 shoulders and knees covered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay in Ayutthaya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f3e8; <strong>[Travelpayouts Hotellook\/Agoda widget: Hotels in Ayutthaya, Thailand]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/bangkok-to-chiang-mai-transport-hotels\/\">Bangkok to Chiang Mai<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/bangkok-to-koh-samui-transport-hotels\/\">Bangkok to Koh Samui<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.
