Thailand – Ayutthaya

I have been thinking of posting these photos for a long time. I know, I know… will try to be better on posting… many of you have been waiting for my tibet photos… they are coming soon…. By the way, some of them were just purchased by the Singapore National Library.

Ayutthaya is only about an hour away from Bangkok by train. It was founded around A.D.1350 by a Prince of U-Thong. It used to be one of the richest cities in Asia by the 1600s, exporting rice, animal skins, ivory, etc. In 1767 the city was completely burned during the war.
