Hello guys!!
Arrived in Ayutthaya after Kanchanaburi. We were only here for a day before we caught the overnight train to Chiang Mai, good fun though and managed to get to see the main sights while we were there.
Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand back in the day, it was where the Emerald Buddha was discovered originally although it is now in Bangkok.
The city was destroyed by the burmese in 2310 b.e, long time ago!! The ruins of the temples are still standing today, was interesting to see all the buddha figurines that were destroyed mostly by having the heads taken off them, this was the ultimate dis-respect to the Thai people.
