Bangkok to Ayutthaya Destination Reviews

RL

Overall a good experience and appreciated the flexible departure times. Note that the final destination will be the van terminal in Ayutthaya and there are lots of tuk tuk drivers and tour bus companies waiting for you, I would recommend you have a clear plan upon arrival otherwise you get sucked in to dealing with these guys. Doesn’t take away from the service though

Easy and useful but not complete info about the cancellation and luggage. There is no storage space in the van and you need to pay for it.

It started on time but arrived finally late at destination because the driver has to wait and then to turn and turn to add extra passengers.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Ayutthaya, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
