Ayutthaya province is one of the destinations that most visitors put it on the travel list. Due to Ayutthaya province located not to far from Bangkok which means you could also travel as a day tour if you have not much time plan while visit Thailand. However we would like to suggest this place to be on your travel list as it is one of the historical places in Ayutthaya instead of Ayutthaya historical site with the old ruins of the temples and the ancient city.
Pang Pa Inn Palace located on the Chao Phraya River bank which separate a bit from the main Chao Phraya River, it first built in Ayutthaya Period and was abandoned after got the 2nd lost from the Burmese War. Until King Rama 4th of Thailand had reconstructed the palace again and used as the reception palace for all Kings and Queens from abroad such as The Queen from the Netherland, The Queen from Denmark, Elizabeth the Queen of England as well as the Royal Family from Japan. There are 7 important spots to visit in Pang Pa Inn Palace. The famous one would be the memorial statue of Queen Sunant aKumareerat, the queen of King Rama 5thof Thailand who passed away from the shipwreck with her 2 children which you could see the memorial statue in the palace area. This palace became the memorial of love for King Rama 5th to his wife and his children since then.
Now a day, the palace opens for the visitors as well as Thai and foreigners to visit in Ayutthaya to learn about the history, enjoy with the beautiful architect as well as taking photos. It opens daily from 8am -4pm. Visiting to this place we have to dress properly as it is as the palace, please.
If you have limit of time, you could choose a day visit to Ayutthaya province and Pang Pa Inn Palace. However you have more time and love travelling on road to see things on the way, we would suggested 6-7 days trip starts from Bangkok to Chiang Mai or from Chiang Mai to Bangkok to cover all the interesting places which include Ayutthaya and Pang Pa Inn Palace as well.

The roads split out in all direction from the center of the capital city of Thailand. If heading toward the eastern side it will lead to Kanchanaburi. There are a few trains per day going there, but the faster and easier way is by cheap minivan ride. There are a lot of accommodation options to choose. The town seems to host tourists for a long time so infrastructure and facilities are well set up. There is the tourist street lined with shops, restaurants, bars, massage parlors, etc. It is not as busy as Khaosan Road in Bangkok though, which can be even better for those who do not like too touristy, too loud, and too crowded places. The small night market close to the railway station is an interesting place to go shopping or simply check out things sold there.
