As an alternative to whoring or a supplement, you can take boy special(s), I do recommend a day trip to Ayutthaya.
There are lots of options for travel, including groups on boats, busses, or smaller groups in minibus etc.
Strangely despite my many visits to Thailand, and travelling all over the country, neither I or my Thai partner had been before. So we decided to go but in a more independent and expensive way with a driver, comfortable car, and English speaking guide which allowed us to travel at our own pace.
Collected from hotel at 0800 and returned at 1700.
Ayutthaya is just WOW, as ruins (mostly) go. We don’t know how it took us so many years to get there. A really great day out and a very informative guide who put the whole experience into a perspective of Thailand’s history. But he also gave us space to wander independently. Having a car and driver meant maximising our time and energy, being dropped off and collected directly from the entrances of the various sites, some of which are quite spread out.
Our trip was booked through Trip Adviser and provided by https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g293916-d12567724-Reviews-MAM_Holidays_Thailand-Bangkok.html and cost around 11,000 Baht. It might be cheaper to go directly to Mam holidays.
The itinerary is below. Recommended, we both had a memorable and informative day.
