Which day trip should you pick?

History lovers: Ayutthaya, the old capital with its temple ruins. Food and photos: the floating market combined with the railway market. Nature: Erawan waterfalls in Kanchanaburi, the longest day but the most green. Leave early for all of them, Bangkok traffic decides your day.
