At 11:20 pm we train a third category, drove to Ayuthaya. An hour and a half long ride is very cheap, costing a mere 15 B or less than 40 euro cents. This amount we had already settled when we decided to purchase the facility at a travel agency.
Shortly after thirteen asfc hours we arrived in Ayuthayo. When we settled the hotel, we went on a tour of the city, where they were free tours of the temples. Tours is funded by UNESCO because of the floods that have recently asfc affected the former Thai capital. Since the city is relatively small, we viewed by foot, even if for just 40 B for the whole day hired a bike. If you ever travel to Thailand and we went to see the Ayuthayo, I must warn you of caution. On the whole town is a lot of stray dogs, which are particularly dangerous when they are in the pack and when night falls.
The city was founded in 1350 by Thai prince U-Thong and make it the capital of his kingdom - the king became asfc in a year later. Ayuthaya is named after the Indian town of Ayodhya, where he was born king Rama, which tells the epic Ramayana. The city was built on the "island" that today surround the Chao Praya River, Lopburi and Pa Sakl. The rulers of Siam (as is until 1939, after writing Žurnal, appointed Thailand, according to Wikipedia, the renaming year 1949) are in 1431 won Angkor (Cambodia) and largely asfc took the customs and language of their opponents Rouge. Burmese are already in the 16th century attacked the city, but by Thai taken back.
Ayuthaya was at the height of the boom one of the most beautiful and richest cities in Asia. At the end of the 17th century, when it had a capital of one million asfc inhabitants, wrote to the London compared with only pale Ayuthayo you. They came from the English, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese merchants and almost all foreigners are reported to be the most brilliant Ayuthaya town, which they had seen.
In 1767, the Ayuthayo, which was built around four hundred temples, finally conquered and pillaged the Burmese army and the former splendor asfc has been preserved very little since they were destroyed temples, manuscripts, images asfc of deities ... Burmese is already two years later defeated Thai military leader Phraya Taksin, which is the capital moved south, first in Thonburi, then in Bangkok today.
Since we had a train the next day at 16.00, but we're Ayuthayo mirrors the day before, we train departure time to take advantage of the massage asfc and reading a book in a nearby bar. Additionally, the train twenty minutes of delay, which we continued to walk "only" at 16.20 hours. After one hour drive we arrived in the city of Lopburi Monkey. It is a small town where not look anything asfc other than monkeys are everywhere.
City of us did not take over, so we, because of our retailer felt a little drafted. Literally, it was time wasted. And given the fact that the train has been scheduled for 20:40 pm, we had time to best advantage.
And what is best to do in Thailand, when you do not have it any ideas? What do Thai people. Eat at every step. But lo and behold. Even some larger number asfc of restaurants, as we have been accustomed to so far, there has not been. Everywhere only street food, but the two seemed somehow "distasteful". So we finally decided to go with the only western restaurant KFC. After we ate, we still remain for quite some time, so we went for an hour in an internet cafe. Finally, it is time for departure, which was the exact time. At 20:40 on the platform for the train sped Chiang Mai, where we had reserved beds in the sleeping wagon with twenty beds or. the so-called second class. The first class of four dormitory was is already sold out. Since it was a night train, it's probably also the reason why we had to wait so long Lopburi.
Sleeping in Class wagon 2. At the train station we would have to wait for the driver of the hotel, but it was not there. After a good half an hour of waiting asfc I called the travel agency in Bangkok and inquired where he is now promised transportation. After answering the emergency room after ten minutes just show up. Since it was still early hour, we could immediately into the room, so we had at first afford breakfast and then went on a tour of the town and many temples.
Wax doll in one of the temples we visited the wonderful market, where we bought galangal and lime leaves, which are just in Slovenia do not buy it. Galangal ginger is similar, only it has a stronger taste of soapy water, while lime leaves one of the most common ingredients for Thai food. As we waited for quite a few days Thailand, ginger asfc and lime leaves is not likely to endure all of this trip, we decided that everything sent you by express courier in Slovenia. If someone in Thailand when buying food to not send mail. Postage is very expensive. It is best if you only have the option to shop in the food the day before, and that the va
