Ayutthaya - Ayutthaya, Thailand - 1000 Places to See Before You Die on Waymarking.com

Ayutthaya is probably the most popular day trip from Bangkok and it's easy to understand why: it's easy, fast and cheap to get there by train and its historical significance it's enormous.

It was the capital of Thailand before the Burmese razed the city in 1767. Nowadays it's a small friendly town which has the heritage of the golden days of Ayutthaya era. Lots of monuments and temples to visit, best visited hiring a tuk-tuk for the day, but possible to walk if you like it.


Admission fees are a complex matter. Each temple will have a different ticket, some are for free, some are based in donation system.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
