Best time to visit Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya is known for a year-round ruin day, and November to February fits a bicycle. Stay in Bangkok unless you want dawn; heat in April still opens the booths.

Ayutthaya is not an Andaman decision, and you can do the historical park in July; you will drink more water. November to February is the humane bicycle, and September and October can flood lanes; temples still open, streets do not always.
The train from Krung Thep Aphiwat is about one hour in any month, and see Bangkok to Ayutthaya. Day trip first from Bangkok, and overnight only for dawn. Tickets stay 80 THB per paid site or 300 THB combo, and Bang Pa-In is a dry-season add-on when the island roads are clear.
