The Ancient City Ayutthaya | Thailand

Where to go outside Bangkok for daytrip? Well, I found out not much places but I would like to explore. Lets start from Ayutthaya, about 80 kilometers north of Bangkok. Its an old ancient city that was Kingdom of Siam capital and during that days Burma (now known as Myanmar) easily come to attack because this place is near the Burma border. Then after that the King decide to move the capital to Bangkok as now you know as Thailand capital. 

So what you can see now in Ayutthaya is an old ancient city with famous Buddha statue in the tree, floating market that worth to visit, and Summer Palace. 

Summer Palace ( Bang Pa-In Royal Palace)

After the king move to Bangkok, this palace is only for vacation purpose when the king want to enjoy some moment here because they like the weather here and also after that the king build few different building you can see like chinese theme house, holland theme house, etc also you can see the house for queen 1, 2, 3, so on and also for the princess. 

You should wear polite outfit to come here, a bit strict. Sleeve shirt with long pants and no flip flop. Even its not a temple and also you able to rent a buggy car for THB 400 per hour but you need to drive by yourself and show the driving liscense. 



one of the the best buy lately : keen —— cause its able to wear as shoes to enter the restricted area yet very comfortable and proper for outdoor activities

chang in Thai means elephant, so cute is this



the buggy car

praying place with Cambodian style

one of the mansion for queen


great place to walk around

feels so artsy

Actually for me walking is enough no need buggy car because its not as big as you think. Its like a huge garden. Prepare your sunnies & umbrella. 

Ayutthaya Floating Market

Nah for this one I really like it. It has several point you will enjoy. First the boat, you will take the longtail boat to enjoy the river then you can have your lunch here with backsound of local performance. Also you can buy some finger food & souvenir. And they said it still less tourist come here so maybe the price is still local wise. 


people said you should try Ayutthaya prawn and its so good so sweet

All of us come for reason to Thailand and having trip together haha solo traveler mode suddenly turn off
All of that dishes only THB 200 per person including the prawn so cheappp

Wat Mahathat

Here you can see the Budha head on the tree and the ancient temple views. 

not a blackpink fans but the point become famous in socmed because of Lisa they said people come to wear outfit like Lisa and take the picture at the same point lol





Angkor wat feelings but with grass

the famous Buddha head in tree



Super duper hot even my palm cant touch the brick OMG but its beautiful

Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

It feels like Angkor Wat in mini size, also there is white building with big gold Buddha inside but you need to take off your shoes to enter it. 



And the iconic here is this 3 stupa that very beautiful in one take. 


So overall I like this daytrip it like combination of sightseeing the ancient city and culture. Also its not that crowded with the tourist so you can enjoy the sunny with some history and the peace haha.
