Trains from Udon Thani to Ayutthaya

You have the choice of either travelling by train during day from Udon Thani to Ayutthaya or of travelling through the night. In terms of the scenery on route this is not one of the best train routes in Thailand – the routes between Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai and Ayutthaya and Ubon Ratchathani are much better – and for this reason you may choose to travel overnight in a sleeper berth instead. However, bear in mind that the disadvantage of travelling overnight is that all overnight train services arrive before first light in the morning and a long time before you are likely to be able to check into a hotel.
