It’s my turn for a big birthday and big trip! I was supposed to find out the surprise destination on July 1st, but RobO innocently let it slip about 3 weeks early… Thailand!
We had a late night arrival in Bangkok and left there about noon the next day. We really only had time for a great night’s sleep, some street food eats, an underwear purchase (someone forgot to pack them!), and an array of transportation to get to the town of Ayutthaya.
Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam between 1350 and 1767 and is home to many elaborate temples (called Wats). It’s popular to cycle from Wat to Wat, which is what we spent today doing. We also took a boat tour to a couple of spots. I guess they’re also lit up at night, but we’ve had monsoon rains both of our nights here (the 2nd time we were smart enough to have raincoats at the ready!).
I don’t want to overdo it with ruins pictures, but these things are so beautiful I have to put them in.
No Thailand blog could be complete without some food pics. We have been eating Thai food to our heart’s content and loving everything we’ve tasted.
Now we’re headed up north for (spoiler alert) time with some elephants!
Can you ever overdo temple pics (or food pics for that matter)? . . . . I vote no!!
