Travel Blogs from Ayuthaya, Thailand
Royal Elephant Kraal
This is a top pick! We just happened to be in town when a very important ceremony was to take place, the blessing of the new posts for the Royal Elephant Kraal. In order to give some perspective you need to understand some history first--- (over 200 years ago) only Kings ...
Elephant Camp!!!
This is a top pick! We read in the Bangkok Post about an elephant program just about 3 miles or so outside of town called "Elephant Stay," which is a non-profit foundation which directly benefits the welfare of retired elephants. Darcy and I being crazy about elephants ...
Former Thai Capital
This is a top pick! Some history to set the prospect on this entry: In their race to reach the Gulf of Thailand, 3 rivers converge to form the island of Ayuthaya, the former Thai capital. The rivers formed both a natural barrier to invasion and an invitation to trade. From ...
Ancient empires
This is a top pick! ... birds sang in the shade. Wat Phra Mongkhon Bophit, a modern temple containing the largest bronze sitting Buddha in Thailand, provided a brief distraction. The statue sounds potentially less impressive than one of its predecessors, a 16 metre high gold ...
The Former Capital
This is a top pick! ... I was able to remember the awe that enveloped me when I first began traveling and particularly when we first arrived in Thailand 8 months earlier. My parents who are now grandparents were so childlike and captivated by the world that I marveled ...
Driving Dumbo
This is a top pick! May luckily had her day off today so decided to join me on a jaunt to Ayuthaya for the day, the ancient capital of Thailand. With her having a dentist appointment first though which by the time she was finished and we'd made out way through ...
Hey...Where you Going???
This is a top pick! ... i went, Thai railway...doggy tracks, wooden seats but only 20 baht a ride...about 30p for a 1h30min trip..bargain. Our destination Ayuthaya, the old Siam capital north of Bangkok. Right got there, had a quick ferry ride across the river and started ...
Nice To Be Out
This is a top pick! ... was fully booked, so I had no option but to book the overnight bus. Walked today what felt like the entire "island" of Ayuthaya (its a moated city), after starting with my new favourite drink - banana fruit shake (or any other fruit for that matter) - ...
Old temples of Ayuthaya
This is a top pick! I should have put more effort into getting packed up because we missed the early train that would have gotten us to Ayuthaya at a decent hour. We faffed around even more with the bloody Skytrain trying to get to the Nothern Bus Station. On the map we ...
Which Wat?
This is a top pick! ... the shade. It was great to get out (briefly)into the more rural setting of paddy fields and banana plantations. Ayuthaya was the former capital of Thailand and is a World Heritage site due to the myriad of temples and palaces tht litter the place. We ...
Ayuthaya
This is a top pick! ... old people slumbering away, or young mothers with adorable smiling kids. The scenery along the way was the tranquil Thailand countryside. The small train stations we passed through had colorful planters and pretty little gardens up front. Occasionally, ...
The Old Kingdom
This is a top pick! ... taster for Lucy. Yeah, she has seen shitloads over the last year, but these are different and she needed to break her Ayuthaya virginity !!! The usual shit with the hotel went down, so we had some food, walked across the road, asked for some pushies, ...
Ayuthaya and Chao Phraya River
... for two days. This city is one of the ancient capitals of Siam. We will be crusing down the Chao Phraya River, stopping occasionally to ride bicycles and enjoy Thailand's rural areas. I believe that we will also be sleeping on a ...
ayutthaya-how the hell do you say it!????
are you tiyer? a you tia?, a u thaya? everyone says it differently! Its that place north of Bangkok that used to be the capital, for anyone checking a map! Its a nice place. Pleasantly surprised! Being so close to Bangkok and most definately ON the ...
Bangkok to Ayuthaya
Just a quick note to say that the doctors think Ernie will survive his run-in with the Tuk-Tuk (three wheeled, cheap transportation), which occurred just outside of Don Muaeng Airport (Bangkok). He was so excited to finally arrive that he was ...
Temples, Dogs and Strange Men
... ;Yesterday's journey here, unfortunately was nowhere near as comfortable as the last bus journey I was on. The only bus going to Ayuthaya, was an ordinary, 3rd class one, which means no air-con and windows which don't open! As you can imagine, ...
Kulturni sok
Okej, prisli smo v Ayuthayo in doziveli prvi kulturni sok. Vsa ta guzva, neznosne vonjave... Mito si je zdravil jetlag, z Barbaro pa sva si sla ogledat rusevine templjev nekdanje prestolnice. Ljudje so superprijazni, vse zanima od kod si, kam gres, tudi ...
Ayuthaya
Ayuthaya used to be one of Thailand's ancient capitols so there has been an abundance of ruins to check out while we were here. The city itself has a mainland and an island formed due to three rivers colliding. On the first day, we cruised ...
Ayuthaya
... I was going to head back to Bangkok for the train up north, but talking to a few people I realised I could go through Ayuthaya instead, so took the local bus here. Its the ancient capital of Thailand and full of amazing ruined temples that I spent a day ...
Oh my buddha
... Chaing Mai and spent the afternoon eating ice cream and catching up on emails before catching the night train to Ayuthaya, what used to be the 2nd capital of Thailand. Bangkok being the fourth. We jumped off the train at 5:45am feeling very sleepy. Local ...
Thailand Ruins
... from the bustle of Bangkok. We bought some wonderful snacks on the train including some fresh fruit and some meat filled pastries. Ayuthaya, a small city, was great to bike around, and the various ruins we saw made for great stops all throughout the ...
Travelling Thai style...
... to the 18th Jan. We were due to be picked up at 7am to get to the train station for the 8.20am train to Ayuthaya. The problem was that the Thai Tourism people never showed up! To make things worse some drunken Aussie idiot decided to sit ...
PLANES, TRAINS, AUTOMOBILES - AND BOATS...
... the land mass of Thailand shrinks into a long arm descending south towards Malaysia, creating a vast shoreline against the Gulf of Thailand to the east, and a continuation of the Myanmar (Burma) land border to the west. A great place to visit some wats ...
Time to put some miles behind us
... or do and which we can live without. As such, we've got to get a move on and up the pace somewhat. One day in Ayuthaya to see some ruins seems plenty. Arrived in the evening and took an overpriced tour to seem them illuminated at night - very nice. Went ...
Trains and Temples
... gave her a "love ticket" stamped with the form of a heart :) but Simon had to make do with the rice field scenery. Ayuthaya is full of temples rather like Ankor in Cambodia, but perhaps less well preserved. The visit takes place in two stages on ...
The begining of my winter holiday
... . Many of you know I am a history buff (or nerd as I keep hearing) so I am often frustrated by how inaccessible Thailand's history is. Ayuthaya was a welcome change, as I was able to get up close to ruined temples and palaces. It was interesting to see ...
Ayuthaya
We got on a train to Ayutthaya. Our timing was not great as we arrived late afternoon/evening but we found somewhere to stay which was nice and clean. We then went for a wonder but didnt really find much. That night we got a tuk tuk to take us on a tour ...
