Ayuthaya

We got a mini bus from Kanchanaburi and were sad to leave the VN Guesthouse. Our driver stopped at just about every petrol station along the way to have a smoke haha! We arrived in Ayuthaya this afternoon and decided to stay at the Baan Suan, a really lovely guesthouse with the cutest bungalows. We walked down the road to Wat Phra Mahathat, a royal monastery that has been in ruins since 1767. There was a Buddha head completly surrounded by sacred Bodhi tree roots. Tomorrow we are going to check out the other ruins around town by bicycle. The following evening we plan to catch a night bus up to Chiang Mai.
