Of the two Thai venues, I personally prefer Ayutthaya; I was at Sukhothai and Ayutthaya earlier this year. Ayutthaya is nearer to Bangkok and cheaper to get to. Tuk-Tuks ( taxi) are the local form of transport and bartering is required before you jump on board – but they are fun and cheap – the driver will show you all the sights and wait hours for you for a few baht. You will be able to see the main sights and temples easily within one day. Hope this helps, Cheers, Brit --- Cheers! Reply    Reply with quote    Contact britman
