Ayuthaya

Ayuthaya is an old capital of Thailand and is on an island, which is quite big. Today we visited some temple ruins, there would be many to see, but it was again so hot that we just went out for a few hours, the rest of the day we stayed in the hotel. Compared with the temples in Bangkok, these one's here are older and as mentioned before often ruins. So instead of seeing everything covered with gold and other glint materials, the temples are brown and dirty... as after the war when they were destroyed.
Yesterday we went on a boat trip around the island with some stops to visit temples and the night market. Ayuthaya was once the capital, but now it's more like a big village; the temples are wide spread, not a lot traffic and also the places to eat and sleep are all together.
Tomorrow morning we are going to Pak Chong (a bit more to the east) where we are visiting the Khao Yai National Park.
