Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya was Thailand's old capital. Its packed with Buddhist temples, and other archeological sites.
We caught a local bus from Kanchanaburi bus depot,then a mini bus the rest of the way.
We are staying in a traditional Thai house which has been converted into a guesthouse. It is called Tamarind. A little more expensive with air conditioning and a bed with sheets and duvet. What luxury!! 

Spent the weekend exploring. Place is jam packed with Buddhist temples. After visiting a few was all templed out. 

The old city is enclosed by river's. While there are bridges it is so much more fun to cross by ferry, isn't it Michael!!

Thousands of cockerels or roosters are on display at a monument dedicated to King Naresuan, who was heavely into cock fighting. Yvonne has never seen so many cocks......

We catch an overnight train to Chiang Mai later, Monday 15th. Takes 12 hours. Got sleeping berths in an ac carriage. Will be able to see the sun rise. It's an economical way to travel and it cuts a nights accommodation costs. 

Leave you with some pictures.
