  • You can hire a boat to take you around the Island of Ayuthaya for fairly cheap! It's a nice 1- 1½ hour ride. You can see alot of local life as people work and play near the river. I found it to be quite interesting.

    Off The Beaten Path: Temple in the rice fields

  • I don't remember the name of this Temple but it is a few miles out of town. We were just cruising the countryside and my friend wanted to show me the Temple. It was a beautiful setting. We could see the clouds weren't look real friendly but we ascended the heights of the Temple. The stairs are very steep! As we arrived at the highest point on the Temple that you can climb we saw 2 lightning strikes off in the distance. I didn't feel real comfortable being on the highest point of ground for miles around. So we took a few photos and made our way back down. Just as we arrived back at the car the storm reached us and it was raining so hard that the windshield wipers couln't even keep up. There were so really close lightning strikes and the thundeer was so loud. I'm glad we didn't wait another 5 minutes at the top of the Temple or we could have been in some serious trouble.

  • At Wat Ratburana there are some shade trees to hide from the afternoon sun. Also you can always sit on the shade side of the main prang. There is a little shop near the entrance selling soft drinks , water etc..

     Hi Scott. Nice pics. I will certainly come here on a trip from Bangkok when I eventually make my way to Thailand.

     It is comparatively expensive (from jungle areas)but the elephants are from the nearby kraal, a charity. They work to generate money for the place in general, this includes supporting older elephants who get to live out their days in dignity.

     I think I'm going to try to take a look at Ayuthaya next month, but it's going to have to be a fairly rushed one day trip. Thanks for all the photos and enthusiasm in these pages.

     So how much does a Tuk Tuk costs in Ayutthaya? Good tip!
