Infos for independent travellers
Basic information for those wishing to come here on their own without a tour! I went with my friend from Bangkok. We decided to come by train but it was a bad idea. The trains might be super cheap but they're often delayed. Even the Express ones. And by delayed I mean one hour. The train we took had no air conditioning. But for air conditioning the price is more than 200 baht. I recommend to take minivan for 70 baht. We took the minivan to go back to Bangkok because the train was super late and the next one would be in 2 hours. It was better decision. So, when you arrive, try to find tuktuk driver to take you around the temples because they are far from each other. We paid 800 baht in total and he took us 5 temples, it was around 4 hours. 4 of these 5 temples had entrance fee of 50 baht. Very beautiful, historical and interesting. Make sure to see the reclining buddha, the buddha head in the tree roots. Amazing places.

Fabulous!
LOVED ALL OF AYUTTHAYA! My favorite of historical sites in all of Thailand! We hired a driver for $60. US dollars who gave us 8 hours of his service, picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel, did a few other stops for us as well. We had a wonderful day without the need of a tour service and went at our own pace, had our own choice of stops. There are maps of many of the sites given with the price of a ticket to the sites. If you plan on going to most of the sites, pay the ticket price for all of the sites which is not very costly, after, don't wait at ticket booths again. You will have the most incredible pictures visiting Ayutthaya!
