[luv u long time]

I have seen photos of Ayuthaya from BM's visits and internet. I really want to make my way there this trip in 5 weeks time. I was wondering if any BM have gone there from Pattaya and how far it is from there.. I think I once read that its about a 2 hour drive from BKK but have never read anyone going there from Pattaya! I was going to break up my trip with a couple nights in BKK for that tour and also the tiger temple tour but if i can do them from Patts and its not too far id prefer to stay in Patts and do it.. Ive been to the tiger temple from BKK a few years ago but didnt notice in which direction the bus was going...
