How To Get Ayyuthaya from Bangkok (Budget Friendly)

( Photo was taken April 2017 )

Ayutthaya is one of the top tourist destinations in Thailand.

You can reach Ayutthaya from Bangkok via van, private car and if you are on a tight budget, you can ride their train (SRT).

This was not my second time to be in Ayutthaya. Since my family is here, I decided to bring them there.

From Hua Lumphong Train Station you can book a  ticket bound to Ayutthaya. I paid 15 Baht for one way train ticket per person and the travel time is approximately 2 hours.  You may use this link to check the schedules and fares of  State Railway of Thailand .

We arrived in Hua Lumphong Train Station around 8 o'clock from our hotel and book tickets for my mother, sisters and I. Since we  still have ample time before the train depart at 9:20 we've decided to have a slightly heavy meal for breakfast and to have enough energy for the tour.

Keep in mind that when you go to Ayutthaya don't forget to bring enough water since most of the places are uncovered, sunscreen or sunblock for your ultraviolet rays protection, umbrella or cap and some sleeves to protect your body from sunburns.

We arrived in Ayutthaya Train Station around 11:30 am (on time) and meet my friend from Ayyuthaya - Manny. We haven't seen each other for quite some time and good thing because he was waiting for his train ride going to Bangkok when we arrived there.

Right after we meet, we headed to Tourist Information Booth and haggled for a Tuk-Tuk that we rented for the entire tour in Ayutthaya. We got our Tuk-Tuk service for 1,000 baht for the entire 4 hours excluding of entrance fees. That amount is still fair enough. Don't be shy to haggle your Tuk Tuk service even though you are a tourist. Last April, I went to Ayutthaya with my 4 Filipino friends and we got our Tuk-Tuk service for 800 baht only. We also met 2 Indonesians who joined our trip and shared the expenses of Tuk-Tuk rent.
