I took a day bike trip about an hour outside of Bangkok to the ancient city of Ayutthaya. Β Ayuthaya wasΒ founded in 1350 as the capital of Siam. Β (now Thailand) Β It was mostly destroyed in the 18th century by the Burmese, but the ruins are still absolutely stunning. Β I felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie. Β
Lunch included drinking from a coconut- SOOOOO delicious!

Asia Series: The Grand Palace and Temples
One of Bangkok's greatest tourist attraction is the Grand Palace and the many Wat's (Buddhist temples) throughout the city. Β I got to see quite a few in my adventures!

Guards marching through the Grand Palace area
Sooooooo many people!!
Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha)
Lots of stray cats around the Wats
