TRAVEL: Thailand, Ayutthaya

After my 10,5 hour flight and 2 hour busride I went directly to Ayutthaya, it was time to visit the tempels/ruïns. I was still in the twilight zone due to the lack of sleep, the time difference and not to forget the wave of heat. When I left the Netherlands, it was around 15 degrees. And arriving in Bangkok in the early morning, the temperature was already far above 30 degrees celcius! So it was pretty difficult to let my body adjust. Anyway, covering my shoulders and legs for the temple visit was not very comfortable.

My first stop was at a gigantic lying buddah, covered with gold. The temples were all covered with orange sheets, which was pretty amazing and colorful to see! We walked around for a while and them moved on to our next stop: the ruïns. There was a small and crowded market which we had to cross first before we arrived at the ruïns. Remembered the water problems Thailand faced last year? The ruïns got damaged even more, so at the time we arrived, they were trying to restore the damage.

After the ruïns we took a longtail boat to go around the island of Ayutthaya and see the temples from a different perspective. I would definitely recommend visiting Ayutthaya when you're in Thailand. I had an awesome time over there. It was just for one day, because the next morning we went to Kanchanaburi (next post!). One day is enough, but don't miss Ayutthaya if you like culture and temples!
