Our Thai friends help us to rent a car to go to Ayutthaya. From the morning 07:00 to 18:00 o'clock, it cost THB 3000 (include gazoline and driver). We just need to give tip for the driver service. The driver was very nice, and he help us a lot to visit some site in Ayutthaya.
If you want to visit all site in Ayutthaya, then I suggest you stay in Ayutthaya for 1 / 2 nights and you can roaming by rent a bike. The site located near each other which make easy to visit.
