Bangkok is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, and is the current capital city of Thailand. The population is diversely international. Bangkok is the gateway to Asia for foreign interests. Bangkok nightlife makes the city famous, and infamous, around the world, and shopping in Bangkok draws visitors from around the world.

Architecturally, the city is modern. Bangkok has a registered 1,000 skyscrapers and ranks 17th as the world's tallest city. These buildings are mixed with monuments to Buddhism in Thailand. Excursions from Bangkok include an escape into the old world of Ayutthaya.
These are as diverse as the city itself, covering all areas and meeting all purposes, an excellent base from which to explore the city. This is a major and bustling city, and yet there are some places where you can block out the noise and relax in luxury away from the main roads. The prices are excellent compared to similar properties in other cities.
Ayutthaya makes an excellent full day excursion from Thailand, and is a fascinating walk-around for those interested in archeology, Thai Buddhism, and the history of Thailand.
Ayutthaya was founded by King U-Thong in 1350 along the Chao Phraya river, Ayutthaya was the capital of the Thai kingdom at its most powerful. In 1767, it was conquered and sacked by the Burmese, and today only the ruins of its prosperity remain. A modern city of the same name was founded a few kilometers further east.
Ayutthaya was once known as "Ayothaya," referring to the capital of King Rama King Naresuan defeated the Burmese and changed the name of the city to Aytthaya or "the undefeatable city" Among Thai cities. It is also known as Ayotaya, Ayothaya, Ayudhya, Ayutaya, Ayuthaya and Ayuttaya.
The cheapest way of reaching Ayutthaya is by train. All north and north-east line trains leave from Bangkok's Hualamphong Train Station and stop in Ayutthaya. It takes around 1.5 hours. Ayutthaya's train station is to the east of the central island. To get to central Naresuan Road, walk straight ahead from the station and take the cross-river ferry. Buses operate every 20 minutes or so from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Moh Chit) directly to Ayutthaya. Allow at least two hours for the trip. The central Ayutthaya BKS bus station is on the south side of Thanon Naresuan next to the Chao Phrom Market.

We recommend renting a bicycle. There are also plenty of tuk tuks. Most of Ayutthaya's sites are on the western half of the island, while the modern city is on the east. The temples with entry charges are usually in ruins, so there is no dress code. Working temples tend to charge no fees.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet is the largest temple in Ayutthaya and has a row of chedis. It's housed within the grounds of the former royal palace, and was used only for royal religious ceremonies. Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopitah is next to Wat Phra Si Sanphet and houses a large bronze cast Buddha image.
Ancient Palace is mostly low-lying ruins set in large grounds. Wiharn at Wat Thammikarat Wat Thammikarat is a working wat, but also contains the ruins of a large chedi and a huge wiharn which has a large tree growing picturesquely out of the side of one wall.
Wat Ratchaburana (Naresuan Rd) stands out for having a large prang recently restored to its original condition. Wat Mahathat Wat Phra Mahathat across the road from Wat Ratburana, is a large temple that was destroyed by the Burmese.
Phra Chedi Sisuriyothai Phra Chedi Sisuriyothai is a white and gold coloured chedi built as a memorial to a previous queen.
