Ayuthaya

After our COS Conference, Kerry and I went to Ayuthaya. Ayuthaya was one of the previous capitals of Thailand, but fell to the Burmese in 1767. The historic temples left behind are now a Unesco World Heritage site.

The ruins were amazing...

My favorite was the Buddha head engulfed by a tree.

Some more photos:

(FYI, we actually climbed up those stairs!) We didn't have much time there, but we made sure to do a boat trip around the city & it was amazing...gave you a view that you normally wouldn't get. The contrast between the wealthy & poor homes was drastic!

Then we had just enough time to grab a beer (with ice & a straw of course) before we had to get on the train.
