2025 Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

First time traveling alone in the province, here Now I have a cheap ticket from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, so I booked it first but I didn't know where to go. In the end, I took the train to Ayutthaya and rented a motorbike to drive. It was a trip that opened up my courage a lot. If you want to try traveling alone easily, try Ayutthaya. ☆The earliest morning flight from Chiang Mai landed at Don Mueang. ☆Walk from the airport to Don Mueang Railway Station, take the train to Ayutthaya. ☆When I arrived at Ayutthaya Railway Station, I walked across the street and rented a motorbike. ☆On the way back, I took the 7pm train back to Chiang Mai (red train), arriving at 7am. #TravelingAyutthaya #AyutthayaAlone

It's quite enjoyable. After about 2 hours, you'll reach your destination, Ayutthaya. Walk around the temples, see ancient sites in the old city, eat, and then return to Bangkok in the afternoon. End your trip without getting too tired.

Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand. The Ayutthaya Dynasty lasted 417 years, the longest dynasty in Thai history. It once annexed the Sukhothai Dynasty, the Lanna Kingdom, and even played with the Angkor Kingdom. During the Burmese invasion in the 18th century, Ayutthaya suffered damage and many Buddhist temples were destroyed. The remains of broken walls and headless Buddha statues are scattered throughout the city, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. - 🚌 How to get there? 👉 Bangkok → Ayutthaya Take a train (20-345THB depending on the type of vehicle) or a minibus (70 THB), the journey takes about 1.5 hours. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ✨ － #Ayutthaya #Ayutthaya #Thailand #Bangkok #Overseas Travel

Someone in the picture has disappeared, leaving only memories. Every time I think of Ayutthaya, I especially think of my aunt. It was the place where we took my aunt to visit for the first and last time. At least we still have good memories to think of each other. 😊 When I go back to visit again, I will stop by every place I have taken my aunt to visit. The province has many beautiful temples. I can walk and take pictures without getting bored.

Kanlueng Home, a homey-style accommodation on the banks of the Noi River in Bang Sai District, Ayutthaya Province, comes with a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Whether you want to relax with nature or sleep by the water and spend time with your family, it will definitely be good for your heart. #Homestays worth visiting

It's Chef Aun's house.. The house under the house is a restaurant where the chef cooks every menu, every dish, every box. There are people coming to eat continuously from the time the shop opens until it closes. If you order at noon, you have to wait almost an hour to eat. The longest I've waited is 1.30 hours. The food tastes very premium. Just stir-fried vegetables are fragrant with the wok, the sweet vegetables are crispy. The price starts at 50 baht for general fried rice. If it's squid, it goes up to 80 baht. If it's seafood, sea bass, it's 150-180. The ingredients are very good, worth the price and the amount, I think if it's a restaurant, a hotel, it shouldn't be less than 500. The COVID prevention measures are very good. The bathroom is clean. #Recommend delicious restaurants

It is a temple that Chao Phraya Kosa (Lek) and Chao Phraya Kosa (Pan) renovated during the reign of King Narai the Great. This temple has a large prang in the shape of a seven-spired pagoda in Chiang Mai. If you walk further in, you will see King Taksin the Great for you to pay homage and ask for blessings. The old brick church made us have to stop and drive past because it really caught our eye. #VisitHistoricalSite

#TravelingThailandLikeGoingAbroad At first glance, I thought I was lost in a European church! But this place is in Ayutthaya! Wat Niwet Thammaprawat, Ayutthaya Province, is another temple with outstanding and beautiful architecture. It is a perfect blend of Thai and Western art. Wat Niwet Thammaprawat Ratchaworawihan is a first-class royal temple located in Ban Len Subdistrict, Bang Pa-in District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. It is old, but the temple itself looks beautifully renovated and new. It uses Gothic architecture and imitates Christian churches in its construction.

I'm introducing the Ayutthaya Sunset Cruise, which I took as an afternoon tour before my night flight to wrap up my Bangkok trip.

The thing that I like about Ayutthaya is it is very historical ! You can see a lots of chandi here and every corner is a great spot to take pictures. You can even rent the traditional costume. It is less crowded here and the result is as good as you take pictures at Wat Arun. Funfact; Ayutthaya used to be the capital city of Thailand before they moved to Krung Thep/Bangkok.
