Ayutthaya Island
Ayutthaya’s railway station is located to the east of what is known as ‘Ayutthaya Island’ because it is bounded on all sides by rivers and canals. The Island is where you will find the city’s main historical sites, in particular the Ayutthaya Historical Park which occupies an area of 2.89 square kilometres of the city’s historic centre.

The historical park, which is the main attraction in Ayutthaya is over 4 km by road to the west of Ayutthaya Railway Station. By tuk-tuk from the train station the journey to the historical park costs around 100 THB.
