My Solo Experience in Thailand -1

No time to do my reading recently and hence have less to share on my blog. What should I do then, I asked myself, “Share some photos again lah!” I told myself. So the next few days, I will be posting the pictures I took in Thailand. Take a look at some of these places and who knows, you may want to consider going there too.

AYUTHAYA

Ayuthaya is approximately 85 km north of Bangkok. It used to be the capital of Thailand from 1350 to 1767. I made a day trip there by aircon bus which took about two hours. You can catch one from the Mo Chit Bus Terminal at every 15 minutes interval. The ride was pretty smooth and comfortable. Can’t remember exactly how much the ride cost me but I think it was less than $2. Honestly, the bus service in Thailand is really super efficient, even better than ours!

I think I may have mentioned before, while I was on the bus, I was so impressed by this scene I saw, a young man who was seated with his girlfriend, actually got up and offered his seat to a woman and her kid. He had to stand throughout the two-hour journey! So nice right? So sad to see people over here actually rushing to get a seat for a five minute MRT ride! Tsk…tsk…tsk…so rude! 沒禮貌！

Ayuthaya is divided into the old city and the new city. The old city consists of many historic ruins and a couple of museums. Unfortunately, I only had time to discover the old city. Rented a bicycle from a guesthouse and went round the old city in a breeze. At one stage, I actually followed those people who took the elephant rides, almost got hit by elephant shit when I cycled behind it, no joke, quite scary! See my Ayuthaya pictures below:
