The Ancient City of Ayutthaya.







Ayutthaya is the capital of Thailand before the king settle down in Bangkok. I made a self guided trip to Ayuthaya with some gathered info on the net, Majority of the tips is useful but except, you need to rent a motorcycle instead of a bike,. the weather in Thailand is so damn hot, if you were on a bike, you need to spent so much time on cycling from one point to another.

From Bangkok i took a 9.25am train to Ayutthaya for 15B each, it took us 2hr to reach there, upon reaching there, we rent a motor cycle for 200B just across the street in front of the station. Personally, me and my wife carries no valid motorcycle license, but the lady boss insist no problem after a few round of confirmation with her. Since it's quite cheap to rent a motorcycle, so we rent a motorcycle instead of a bike.

The major POI there is the ruins of the palace, the sleeping buddha, and a buddha head in a tree(but i miss this one as i couldn't find it).

On the way back, we by coincidently took an express train which reach Bangkok in 1.5hr times. Which cost us 20B each.
