Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) Ayutthaya

Gisteren mijn laatste avond Bangkok gehad ! Voor deze gelegenheid heb ik dan mijn voetafdrukken vereeuwigd in een betonnen voetpad dat ze aan het leggen waren en ik had niet niet gezien dat ze het hadden "afgeschermd". 2 van de 3 Thai-mannen konden er mee lachen , de 3e iets minder. Solly! En dan gewoon doorwandelen. Dan mijn avondeten : ik wou …

I've been Ayuthaya province, it is one
of the grand greatest capital in the past. It has lot of beautiful
temple and ancient architecture around the province. I think Ayuthaya

tourist. Recently, it was massive flooded in all areas. …

Historical city of Ayuthaya was the capital of Siam before iBangkok. We went there out of curiosity as it is about a couple of hours drive from Bangkok. The sleepy town has some grand old Wats and stupas in various degrees of maintenance. We lost a lot of time just locating places because locals speak no English. Must prepare better next time even …

Wednesday: So after us both stressing about getting a taxi or a tuk tuk at a reasonable price (we've certainly got into the swing of how cheap things are, starting to think paying more then £2 for a 20minute drive in rush hour is a rip off) we walk out of our street onto the main road, grab a taxi and ask for meter to the train station.... …

We decided to get a car to Ayuthaya instead of taking the train. We figured we could save a couple of hours and we knew we would have our share of trains in the next couple of days. It ended up being a good decision as we got the driver guy for the whole day. t was a good way to ease into things. IHe took us around to all of the …

Woke up and went for beans on toast Thai style! The bus wasn't coming so the guy who sold us the ticket said he would drive us! So we thought yeah go for it. His car had no air con but had plumbing fittings used to blow out cold air! Stopped off at a gas stations and had my first wee in a hole …

Nuestro segundo dia de viaje decidimos contratar un taxi para llevarnos a Ayuttaya en vez de tomar el tren como teniamos planeado originalmente. En el fin fue una buena decision, un poco mas cara que la primera pero nos ahorro un par de horas y nos dio bastante comodidad y flexibilidad para hacer las cosas. Comenzamos por un wat que todavia estaba …

A peine sortis du train, nous sommes abordés par les chauffeurs de tuk tuk. Un premier nous propose 200 baht pour aller à l'hôtel et visiter la ville ! Nous prenons un autre tuk tuk pour 100 baht seulement. Nous arrivons à l'hôtel et à notre surprise nous ne sommes pas dans une chambre donnant sur la cour mais dans une …

Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand.
It is located north of Bangkok, near a wetland-area and was brilliantly designed using the river in combination with walls to protect the inner city circle.

We stayed at cozy little "Tamarind Guesthouse" (Tamarind is a local bean-like sour tasting fruit). The guesthouse was run by Koi and …
