Lost in Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya is another destination on my list.
As the lost kindom and now the world heritage site, Ayutthaya definitely have some charm that attracts people.
Took a van from victory monument to Ayutthaya,then I changed to a small bus to the heart of the town.
Met this friendly Thai lady on the bus and she actually directed me to the bicycle rental shop.

Having no budget for tuk tuk or other mode of transport, the rented bicycle becomes my mobility. As Ayutthaya is not very huge in size and the traffic is not that heavy, it is quite nice just to cycle around.

Walking through the ruins, imaging the raise and fall of the great Siamese Kingdom.
Life stops for a second or rather a few hours.
Tried some beef noodle and roasted banana at roadside store.
This is my first time seeing roasted banana.(Well, I have seen more as I travel)

Took the train back to bangkok.
The train back to bangkok costs only 20 baht,compared to the mini van which costs 100baht.
However, the ride back to bangkok tooks about 2.5-3 hours.
I am back to bangkok and Khao San road again.
