Transportation:
Most places are easy to reach by taxi or tuk-tuk. Hiring a motorbike is also a popular option if you're confident. Keep in mind that it can get congested.
If you have more time, consider visiting the floating markets outside Bangkok. To visit other temples, consider spending one day in Ayutthaya as well. If you only have a half-day, consider going to the Jim Thompson House in Bangkok instead.
