At 11:20 pm we train a third category drove towards Ayuthaya. An hour and a half long ride is very cheap, costing as little as 15 B, or almost 40 euro cents. This amount we had already settled when we decided to purchase the facility at a travel agency.
Shortly after thirteen 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 mill valley kitchen as a result of the floods that recently hit the former Thai capital. As the city rather small, we viewed by foot, although it may only B 40 for the whole day hired a bike. If you ever travel to Thailand and we went to see Ayuthayo, I must be cautioned. The whole place is huge 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 has become in a year later. Ayuthaya was 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", which 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 anniversary of the renaming in 1949) was founded in 1431 conquered Angkor (Cambodia) and largely took the customs and language of their opponents Rouge. Burmese are already in the 16th century attacked the city, but was taken back to Thai.
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, a time when the capital of one million inhabitants, wrote to the London compared with only pale Ayuthayo you. They came with English, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese traders and almost all foreigners are reported to be the most brilliant city Ayuthaya what they saw.
In 1767, the Ayuthayo, which was built about four hundred temples, finally conquered and pillaged the Burmese army and the former splendor has been preserved very little since they were destroyed temples, manuscripts, images of deities ... Burmese is already mill valley kitchen two years later defeated mill valley kitchen Thai military leader Phraya Taksin, which is the capital moved south, first in Thonburi, and then in Bangkok today.
Since we had a train the next day at 16.00, but we're mill valley kitchen Ayuthayo mill valley kitchen mirrors the day before, we train departure time to take advantage of massage 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 an hour drive we arrived in the city of Lopburi monkeys. It is a small town where not to see anything mill valley kitchen except the monkeys are everywhere.
Location of us did not take over, so we, because of our retailer felt a little drafted. Literally, it was time thrown away. And given the fact that the train has been scheduled for 20:40 pm, we had to make the most of the time.
And what is best to do in Thailand, when you do not have any idea right? What do Thai people. Eat at every step. But lo and behold. Even some larger number of restaurants, as we have been accustomed to until now, there has not been. Everywhere only street food, but the two seemed somehow "insipid". 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, mill valley kitchen it was time departure, which was the exact time. At 20:40 on the platform the train sped to Chiang Mai, where we had reserved beds in the sleeping wagon with twenty beds respectively. the so-called mill valley kitchen second class. The first class of four dormitory was already sold out. Since it was a night train, it's probably also the reason why we had to wait so long Lopburi.
Sleeper in 2nd class wagon 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 we called the travel agency in Bangkok and inquired where he is now the promised service. mill valley kitchen After answering the emergency room after ten minutes just show up. Since time was still early, we could immediately into the room, so we had at first to afford breakfast and then went on a tour of the city and many temples.
Wax doll in one of the temples we visited the wonderful market, where we bought galangal and lime leaves, which in Slovenia but do not buy it. Galangal is similar to ginger, only to have an even 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 and lime leaves is not likely to endure all this travel, we decided that all along sent you by express mail in Slovenia. If someone in Thailand when buying food to not send the mail. Postage is very expensive. It is best if you only have the option to shop in the food the day before departure and that of your
