Actually the title here may be a little misleading as we travelled to Ayutthaya by coach and returned to Bangkok by boat. This was another long all day outing and another 7 AM early start. This time due to the distances involved we had to join a group tour and after being collected from our hotel by minibus were soon transferred to a larger coach there joining the rest of our party. Ayutthaya is the former capital of Thailand and is situated about 100 km North of Bangkok. We have more detailed information about Ayutthaya from the article about the Pattaya City Expats tour there in December 2004. This can be found on the web site in the January 2005 edition of The Pattaya Otter Newsletter (our previous style publication). So here we will just cover the details of our tour there and back, and as usual this can be found by following the pictures below.
