Be sure to have enough gas in the tank, because Bangkok is worth making a detour for. Located 45 miles from Bang Khla, it boasts some terrific attractions, such as Khaosan Road and Pratunam Market. Ayutthaya is another destination to consider. It’s situated just 60 miles away. If you venture out this way, Ayutthaya Historical Park and Wat Phra Si Sanphet should be on your radar.
