Ayutthaya - the ancient capital of Siam

The third-class train ride to Ayutthaya is an experience which has to be lived in Thailand. Besides the fact that its not quite the ICE of ICN from here, there is a lot that one can experience. A mix of people from the small children going to/ from school to the vendors selling their refreshments to the travelelrs, etc.

Once we have arrived, we hired a tuk-tuk driver to travel us around the main attractions.

Ayutthaya indeed is a place rich in Thai history as evidenced by its temples, Buddha statues and ruins of palaces standing as living proof of a great past, as you can see in our album below:
