Ticket Prices for the Train from Ayutthaya to Khao Yai / Pak Chong
When travelling relatively short distances on trains in Thailand, it is usually best to travel on the cheaper Rapid or Ordinary services, as you can just turn up at the station and take the next departure (no need to pre-book).
The only problem with these trains is they are the ones that usually take most of the delays.
Travelling by Express and Special Express services means you will be paying all the fixed surcharges and as this journey is quite short, the fare is relatively expensive.
It also means you will usually have to pre-book a seat (in advance if possible), either from Ayutthaya Station or online >
