#Bangkok Transportation Guide
Traveling from Bangkok to Wat Phra That Ram in Ayutthaya is not just a geographical move, but also a journey through time and space. The following three modes of transportation allow you to easily unlock the charm of this historical site:

🚂Train travel: experience the retro slow time

Departure station selection:

• Bang Sue Grand Station: A modern new station with some trains taking only 50 minutes to reach Ayutthaya. Ordinary seats cost 20 baht. There are frequent trains and convenient facilities.

Tips for riding:

• Tickets can be booked in advance on the official website of the State Railway of Thailand, or purchased on site; carriages are divided into air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned (with fans). Non-air-conditioned carriages are more suitable for experiencing the local customs and culture along the way. Seats are on a first-come, first-served basis.

🚐 Minibus travel: a flexible and convenient local option

Boarding location:

• The minibus parking lot near the Victory Monument can be reached by taking the BTS light rail. After exiting the station, look for vehicles with the word "Ayutthaya" on them.

Tour Features:

• The journey takes about 1 hour, the ticket price is about 60 baht, and the train runs frequently (basically on a first-come, first-served basis), making it suitable for travelers who travel light or are in a hurry.

• Warm reminder: The space in the minibus is relatively narrow, so it may be inconvenient if you carry large luggage. It is recommended to confirm the luggage storage area in advance.

🚗 Chartered car/taxi: a pleasant choice for private time

Suitable for the crowd:

• Families, groups or tourists seeking itinerary flexibility can be picked up directly from hotels in downtown Bangkok. The entire journey takes approximately 1.5 hours.

Costs and advantages:

• The cost of chartering a car is about 1,000 - 1,500 baht per car (negotiable). You can stop and take photos as you like along the way. It is suitable for travelers who want to explore Ayutthaya in depth. If you choose a taxi, it is recommended to use the Grab app to call a taxi to avoid the driver asking for exorbitant prices.

🌟 A thoughtful reminder across time and space

• There are many historical sites in Ayutthaya. The ticket to Wat Phra Ram is about 50 baht. It is recommended to wear a collared shirt and long trousers to enter the temple as a sign of respect.
