Very Dry Cm Pregnant?




We left Bangkok on a printing scam again, when the taxi refused to use the meter for his race and make us a preferred tourist prices. Arrived at the bus station, we looked for a bus company in particular (the safest) unfortunately, everything was written in Thai and when we asked where was our bus company, people laughed and said we could take the ticket with the company ... Even the information desk was not cooperative. We're resigned to take a company that we did not know (may be that they wanted, according to the woman at the counter was well written on our company name on the wall, except that it is impossible check as we do not read Thai). After

1:30 bus, we arrived in Ayutthaya ancient capital where many vestiges remain from the days when kings lived here. We head towards the two main ruins, Wat Phra Mahathat and Wat Ratbunara where we saw the head of a Buddha literally built into a tree.

We went to Thammikarat Wat, an ancient temple that looked beautiful (and decorated with roosters?) But a pack of wild dogs took possession of the place, so it was more appropriate leaving the place hurriedly.



We finish the day with a good meal in a covered market.

The second day we rented bikes to cycle through the other temples and ruins. We begin our day with breakfast at the Ayutthaya Historical Park. Then we reach the ruins of the former royal palace.



Then we realized our first elephant in the street and met our first Thai who helped us find our way without trying to sell us something. It must be admitted that away from Bangkok, people are smiling more and being less harassed to buy a costume or take a tuk tuk.

Phu Khao Tong Branch to finish the morning. It is a pagoda where, according to the Lonely Planet, we have panoramic views of Ayutthaya. So we climb. The view is beautiful although we expected a better panorama.



On the way to the pagoda, we stopped at a temple anonymous.

Lunch break fast at a market (the best place to enjoy Thai dishes along with Thai and Thai fare). We then decided to continue our tour of the ruins. Objective: 3 old temple on the other side of the river, it seems simple to the bridge ... error is the way to Bangkok! We found a bike on a highway bridge. Once past the bridge you realize it will be difficult or impossible to achieve integers to the ruins as it must continue on the highway. Turn around, there is a road a little calmer across the River. Reached the other side we find ourselves again in the middle of four lanes. We managed somehow to reach the sidewalk. Once off you realize that a bike pedal R. does very well. We are approximately 45 minutes walk from rent a bike and it's 30 degrees. We decided to try to bring the bike without fart pedal. No luck, after 10 meters R. lose the pedal on the road (which made everyone laugh at the Thais who were side), we picked it up and you realize that it is impossible to recover. R. thus ends the bike path-scooter.



We've spent a good day through Ayutthaya.
