Can you travel around Ayutthaya by renting a motorcycle? Always! Because there are many motorcycle rental shops in Ayutthaya, whether near the train station or Chao Phrom Market. For sookjai holiday's regular motorcycle shop, it's Tour with Thai (TWT). I've rented from them many times. The reason I rent from this shop regularly is because when I get off the bus at Chao Phrom Market, I walk into the alley of the BAAC bank, and it's just a short distance away.
Rent a motorcycle for 24 hours. Rent at 10:00 AM and return at 10:00 AM. Refuel to the original level. No deposit required. The price is 300 baht. You can ride around the entire city island of Ayutthaya. sookjai holiday. I rented a motorcycle from this shop and rode to Nakhon Luang District, Ayutthaya. Another time, I went as far as Ban Tha Sadet, a community of royal doll makers, bordering Ayutthaya and Ang Thong. If you're going to ride far out of town, tell the owner, so she can choose a motorcycle in good condition for you.
Around the TWT rental shop, at night, it's an area for nightlife and drinking within the city island. There are many shops providing services. If you drink until midnight and can't return to your accommodation, you can sleep in front of the rental shop. Wake up around ten o'clock and return the motorcycle just in time, haha.
After renting a motorcycle, fill up with about 100 baht of gasoline, which is about 2 liters (more economical and fun than driving a car or renting a tuk-tuk). Where should you go? sookjai holiday recommends traveling outside the city island to the following places, in addition to the popular tourist attractions.
Old Ayothaya Community (Sri Ram Thep Nakhon), explore the original Wat Ayothaya, find unique locations for taking pictures at Wat Samanakot, Wat Maheyong, Wat Sikasamut, Wat Pradu Rongtham, Wat Kutidao, etc.
Visit the ancient communities of the Ayutthaya period: Dutch Village, Portuguese Village, Japanese Village.
Visit Phu Khao Thong Reservoir (and Phu Khao Thong Pagoda, pay respects to the King Naresuan Monument). The atmosphere is good. Find something to eat and sit and enjoy the cool breeze (don't get so relaxed that you fall asleep).
Pay respect to the reclining Buddha at Wat Phanomyong, visit Wat Sala Poon, Wat Takhrai, Wat Hastavas, north of the city island, which most tourists don't usually go to.
