Beautiful Creations: Ayutthaya City

The second capital of the Kingdom of Siam until it was razed by the Burmese. And the ruins of the old city have made it one of the best places to see in Thailand.

Apparently, I love archaeological sites thus, I must say this is one of the cities I love to see. And I may sound silly, but no words could really explain how I felt while I was staring at the big temples and statues. I was even teary-eyed while looking at the ruins. Gee! That was my first visit then. I was not emotional anymore on my second. :-)

Aside from seeing ruins, you can also watch an elephant show, ride an elephant and shop at their souvenir stores.

Anyway, you can go there by car/taxi, train, bus, van or boat from Bangkok (see google for more info). On my first visit, my friends and I opted to go by train (2 hrs) and preferred a bus in coming back to Bangkok. It's faster. Hehehe.... However, when you're three or four, it's more convenient to rent a taxi, and you don't need to rent a "tuk-tuk" for the tour.

Here are some of the temples that may interest you:

Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon

Wat Phu Khao Thong

I was so eager in climbing up, but nervous in coming down. I just realized the height when I reached the top, but it was breathtaking. I could see the whole city.
