Day 6 Travelling to Ayutthaya

For the second day of the weekend we went to Ayutthaya. It is a province beside the Pathum Thani, the province where our university is in. Today we went out a little bit early so that we can do more things. Unfortunately we waited a little bit long outside the university waiting for the van going to Ayutthaya since was is always full.

We fist went to Ayutthaya Floating market where we roamed around and some of us bought things. We did not pay the fee anymore since we have our Thai buddies were with us and they told us not to talk as we go in since we also look like Thai people.

After that some of us rode an elephant. Air rode the elephant with me. It was a good experience being able to ride one of the attractions in Thailand but it is a bit sad because animals can also get hurt and they can't go to places wherever their feet lead them.

We ate lunch before going to the old temples. I ordered a roasted beef which I thought was not spicy. But when I started eating, oh it was a little bit spicy but it was good! We went to Bang-Pa In Palace after where we saw different kinds of structures and also the place where the King stayed.

After Bang-Pa In palace, we went to the old temples. I really enjoyed going to the old temples, I enjoyed just watching it and remembering how long they were already there. I really liked it there because I am the kind of person who likes old places.
