Ang Thong
The provincial capital of Ang Thong - not to be confused with the archipelago of that name in southern Thailand, now a national marine park - lies on the Menam Chao Phraya in the middle of Thailand's broad central plain, some 33 km (20 mi.) from Ayutthaya. Agriculture (especially rice cultivation) dominates the countryside around. Although there are no sights to speak of in Ang Thong itself there are several interesting temples to visit in the vicinity.
By car: from Ayutthaya (Highway 309 towards Singburi).
By bus: from Bangkok (Northern Bus Terminal; several departures daily) or Ayutthaya.
By rail: the nearest stations are at Ayutthaya, Suphanburi and Saraburi (several trains a day from Bangkok-Hualampong).
