I thought you might be willing to offer us some advice for our trip to Thailand. We'll be traveling in less than 2 weeks.

A specific question I have is if it is better to take land transportation both ways to Ayutthaya to allow more time at the actual site or take land transportation one way and return by boat the other.

I don't know where in Thailand you live, but do you or others have any recommendations for restaurants in Chiang Mai which are good and also reasonable?

Since you're a resident and not a tourist, do you know if the quality of day tours varies depending on the cost in Bangkok? We've found a considerable difference between tour companies and would like yours or others view on this matter. Would you or anyone else know of a reasonable priced guide we could use in Bangkok?
