Ayutthaya – an old capital, impressive day trip
Things to experience:
1.Local lifestyle
2.Extremely hot weather
3.Impressive ruins of Wat Chai Watthanaram

Ayutthaya is a river island not far from Bangkok which used to be a capital of Autthaya kingdom for a 400 years. It was completely destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. There is no skyscrapers – just jungle, marsh, river and locals and impressive ruins of Buddhist temples.

Because of any buildings but not temples were made of wood there are nothing left after city were burned down. On the map of Ayutthaya you will see a lot of tourist attractions – but only one really worth going – ruins of Wat Chaiwatthanaram

Best time to go: Monday at 9 am
A.Take a taxi to Mo Chit 2 bus terminal https://goo.gl/maps/JEXeegnEzxM2

C.Minivan leaves every hour it will bring you to some random place in the city most likely next to Robinson shopping mall
D.Take a local tuk tuk to Wat Chaiwatthanaram (Thai: วัดไชยวัฒนาราม) – negotiate maximum to 80 baht
