Ayutthaya to Lopburi

[mrblonde]

Afternoon all

 

We are due in Ayutthaya next weekend for 4 nights and thinking of visiting Lopburi for a day to see/photo/get mugged by the monkeys, whats the best way to get there from Ayutthaya please?  We are staying in Ayutthaya on U-Thong road, was thinking of the train, never used a train before in thailand so will be an experience

 

Any things to look out for, and to do or not do in Lopburi?

From Ayutthaya bus station to Lopburi 1 hour or so in car so bus 1.1/2 hours.

You can  go by mini bus ,most leave from the main road at the frount of Robinsons  Department store ,been a while since I was in Ayutthaya,some now may leave from the bus station ,use to drop you off at the level crossings in the city center  

There is a bus ,but it will take 3 hours ,stops at most lane ends ,and never seems to find top gear. 

The train will allso take allmost 3 hours ,check times at the station, only cost a few bart .

What not to do in Lopburi ,feed the monkeys ,or go near them with plastic bags ,liable  to take them from you .

Thanks Kwasaki, do you think we'd find a driver outside the bus station (or train station) happy to drive us there, wait a few hours then back again?   If so, any idea what we should pay?

Yeah easy enough to find tuk-tuk or taxi prices vary in many places from 100 to 500 bht just negotiate a price with them.
