Bangkok to Ayutthaya Destination Reviews

SR
The driver dropped us 2km away from the arrival point we selected on 12go (Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon). He just drove every locals right to where they wanted as a taxi and just left all the foreigners at the same drop point which was not the one we should arrive. When we told the driver he just said « take a tuk tuk ». So rude and unacceptable

The bus did not go to the City Park. Instead, it dropped us off at some bus stop on Naresuan Road telling us to leave. That was very strange.

The check in was easy and the drive relatively fast (for a lot of traffic) but it was a bit confusing to get there because the coordinates and the adress showed two different sides on the road so we had some trouble to get there.

It was a minibus, we had enough space for luggage, driver took a few longer breaks which was delaying the short drive quite a bit. Otherwise he told us when to get off the bus and everything worked out great.
