Getting there from the UK
Day trip by train from Bangkok.
Top tips
- Trains from Krung Thep Aphiwat take a little over 1 hour on faster services; ordinary trains about 2 hours.
- Hire a bike or tuk-tuk to get between the ruins.
- Start early: it gets very hot by midday.
- Why it's underrated: World-class history barely an hour from Bangkok.
Before you go
- Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
- Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
- Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
