Experience the Charm of Ayutthaya Elephant Riding

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Ayutthaya. Head southeast on Rojana Rd (Route 309) towards Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District. Continue on Rojana Rd for approximately 5 km. Turn left onto Soi Mu Ban Chang. The elephant riding location will be on your right after a short drive. There is usually parking available nearby, but keep an eye out for any parking fees that may apply.

• Public Transportation - Tuk-Tuk

  For those preferring public transportation, you can take a tuk-tuk from the Ayutthaya Historical Park area. Negotiate the fare (it should be around 150-300 THB depending on your starting point) and ask the driver to take you to Soi Mu Ban Chang in the Han Tra Sub-district. Make sure to mention the elephant riding area specifically to ensure they know the location. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes.

• Public Transportation - Songthaew

  An alternative public transport option is to take a songthaew (shared taxi). Look for a songthaew heading towards Han Tra. They usually depart from the main bus station or near local markets. The fare is generally around 10-20 THB per person. Request to be dropped off at Soi Mu Ban Chang, and from there, it’s a short walk to the elephant riding area.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer a more adventurous route, consider renting a bicycle. Many rental shops are available in Ayutthaya. From the center, take the main roads towards Rojana Rd, then turn left onto Soi Mu Ban Chang. The ride should take approximately 30 minutes, and it’s a scenic route through the province. Remember to wear a helmet and be cautious of traffic.
