Worth one day if you like ruins — train from Bang Sue / Hua Lamphong or minivan tour, 4–5 hours at main temples plus lunch. DIY: train ~20 baht, bike hire at station. Skip if doing Angkor Wat later on same trip. Back by evening for Yaowarat if you have energy. April heat brutal — start early. Private AC van costs more but saves suffering.

Private tour pricey but AC van helps April heat. DIY train cheaper, hire bike at station.

We skipped — no regrets, used day for Ari cafes + market instead.
