Which one to choose in Ayutthaya

Wat Nang Kui vs Wat Phra Ram

Two temples in Ayutthaya. Wat Nang Kui has no online ticket listed; Wat Phra Ram has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.

Wat Nang Kui

Wat Nang Kui

Ayutthaya, Thailand

No ticket for Wat Nang Kui alone is sold online, and it is not one of the headline sites covered by the combined ticket for the Ayutthaya Historical Park. It is a small, registered historic temple in the south-eastern part of the old island, visited mostly by local worshippers and by travellers exploring Ayutthaya at their own pace; where there is a donation box, a small gift is the appropriate gesture. Getting there is the main decision. The usual approach for anyone staying in Ayutthaya is to rent a bicycle or scooter, or to hire a tuk-tuk by the hour, and to slot the temple into a loop that takes in the riverside sites at the southern end of the island.

Wat Phra Ram

Wat Phra Ram

Ayutthaya, Thailand

No ticket for Wat Phra Ram alone is sold online. Foreign visitors pay a small entrance fee in cash at the gate, as at the other main ruins of the Ayutthaya Historical Park, and the temple is usually also covered by the combined ticket sold at the larger sites, which saves money if you plan to see several ruins in a day. There are three usual ways to visit. Travellers staying in Ayutthaya rent a bicycle or scooter, or hire a tuk-tuk by the hour, and the temple is easy to fit in, as it stands in the heart of the island beside Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Mahathat.
