Thailand Vacation Days – Bangkok To Ayutthaya by Local Train
the royal city of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, makes for a perfect day trip. Luckily, Ayutthaya is only about 85 km (52 miles) from Bangkok, close enough for a day trip by train. While you can also take a bus, minivan, boat, car, or motorbike, I decided to take the train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya as it is fast, easy, cheap and quite comfortable. Founded in 1350, Ayutthaya was once the capital of the kingdom of Siam centuries before the land became known as Thailand. Today, the ruins of this city characterized by its giant spires, prang (reliquary towers), and moats surrounding the temples offers visitors a chance to explore a completely different side of “the land of smiles.”
All trains from Bangkok to other parts of Thailand leave from Hua Lamphong Station. It takes less than 1.5 hours by train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and train tickets start at 15 Baht ($0.44) for 3rd class tickets. Getting to Hua Lamphong Station is pretty easy via the MRT (Bangkok subway). The train station is right next to the MRT station with the same name, Hua Lamphong. Walk into the building and go straight to the ticket counter, ignoring any possible scammers trying to talk to you. There are two different ticket counters: one for buying tickets in advance and one for buying tickets for today. Remember to bring your passport along, as it is often required to book tickets. Hua Lamphong Train Station actually has a lot to offer. I loved the open architecture but the fact that it also has luggage storage makes it even better for Thailand travelers. On top of that, there are a couple of shops and food vendors where you can pick up a quick and cheap breakfast.
