Last night in Bangkok ... la-la-la-la la-la la la la-la

Spent another day in Bangkok before heading to Ayatthaya, which was the Siamese capital before Bangkok. This place is gorgeous. Full of 700 year old ruins and amazing food. We (myself and a Canadian chick I met in Bangkok) found a great guest house where we got a room with a balcony over the river for 250b (that's about $6 each). We spent two nights there and spent the days and nights exploring the ruins and the town. I could easily have stayed longer, but felt I should see some more of what else Thailand has to offer.

I didn't get a chance to head any further north than Ayutthaya, but have spent the last couple of days checking out Bangkok. Kind of took yesterday 'off' - spent most of the day in a park by the river reading and practising my German. Guten Tag!

Today I went to Jim Thompson's House, then Siam Square before walking back to Khao San (about an hour). It was good to walk that - it gave me a better feel for Bangkok - for the distances and all. I also realised just how many tourists / travellers do not venture outside of the Khao San area, which is really sad as it's the least Thai part of Bangkok that I've discovered.
