ADVANCEDA Day in the Old Capital
≈ 5,000 steps + 4.8 mi by car2.5 mi on foot · a full dayAdvanced · 6 stops · 800 credGetting there is not the hard part.Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam until 1767; it is a day trip north of Bangkok by road. Six temples, from a working temple to riverside ruins, five behind 20- or 50-baht gates (a 220-baht pass covers several). Hire a driver or a bicycle on the island. In October the Chao Phraya runs high and Wat Chaiwatthanaram sits behind a flood barrier on its bank, so check it is open.
