Ayutthaya: The Burnt City

 

  • 04/27/2022 - Ayutthaya once was the capital of Thailand until the Burmese raided the capital and burned it to the ground. However to this day you can still see the fire marks on the bricks and see many large beautiful temples that were left standing. When the Burmese raided, they knocked the heads off most statues so you will see many Buddha statues with their heads removed. Honestly by far it is my favorite temple and was a highlight of my trip.

  01/22/2022 - Wat Pho, this is the first temple Ive been to and I found that they charge foreigners 200 baht (6$ or so) to enter the temple. It is free for national citizens so I was joking with the guard saying “Phom Ma Jak Thailand Khrup” which means I am from Thailand haha. He laughed and asked me to sing the national song so sadly I was caught instantly, I know shocking right? When you enter a temple you must wear long pants, closed toe shoes and a shirt that covers your body and shoulders (so I was sadly very hot both by appearance and temperature). The temples are very pretty and have a ton of detail, Thailand is known for gold so I’ve noticed they paint everything golden it’s very pretty. I had a ton of fun.
