The Ancient City is the door opening to the heritage of Thai wisdom.

How to get to Ancient City

By Car
Drive to Bangna-Tard Rd. ,Then try to see Theparak sign near Central Bangna ( you should be at the very left lane) It should drive under the bridge and then turn left in order to get to the bridge that you recently drive underneath it.

Then go straight untill see an Tri-intersection. You will see Chonburi sign NO.3 or Sukhumvit Rd.

There are 3 ways of traveling inside Ancient City
1. CAR
2.Tram
3.Bike

I recommend that you should go by tram because it is the most convinent inside there, You already pay for a day-trip tram fees. So you can walk around and jump on it again and again . Normally 10 mins waitting for the next tram and show your tram ticket. DO NOT loss it.

Sit on the tram , they should show you all spots at the first round take about 30 mins, Then the next round you can have a look on the map of Ancient City (provided at the office before get inside). and choose which spot you want to look at it more closer

After I finished Ancient City Day trip, I went to Bangpu ( Sukta bridge) to see Seaguel(s)

Bangpuu locates on another side of the road ,far from Ancient City around 2 kms .THEN
Do U-TURN and drive into a small street leading to the bridge.

Those photos of the road signs are what I call a real road map. Much easier to follow than a lot of different coloured lines on a piece of paper.
