Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because Ayutthaya is well worth a detour. Located 45 miles from Thung Khok, it offers up some fantastic attractions, such as Ayutthaya Historical Park and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Bangkok, 50 miles away, is another destination that’s worth the drive. Swing by Khaosan Road and Pratunam Market, two top-notch attractions in the area.
