I'm a bit delayed in writing this post but I thought I should write something about the sights of Thailand that I was able to see last Saturday. Together with some of the other volunteers staying at Sirin house, I made my way by bus and train to the historical site of Ayatthaya. Ayatthaya is the old capital city of Thailand (or Siam as it was back then). In the time of the war between Siam and Burma in 1767 the city was flattened. Now it it mainly ruins of old wats and the old grand palace that you can find there scattered between trees, markets and houses.
We hired bikes which we rode around for the afternoon and saw lots of the different sites. Here are a few pictures
