Ayutthaya was probably one of the coolest places we visited while in Thailand. Was it worth being extremely tired the whole day...probably. We wondered around the city for around 2 hours that early morning just to find that they had guards making sure nobody went in them when they werent open. Once the sun finally rose we ended up sneaking into one of them anyway. Ya im a bad ass.
It was really crazy to see the amazing temples and towers that the people were able to build in the 1400's (thats when most of them were built) before they had modern technology. Possibly more remarkable was how in tact the buildings appeared. Im sure that if I stood on them they would crumble, I mean I am Godzilla yo. But regardless, They were really really cool to see.
We left Ayutthaya around noon or so and bought tickets for the train into Bangkok. The train took a lil under 2 hrs and cost around 50 cents. I know. Really expensive right? Unbelievable. Once in Bangkok we made our way to the grand palace and met up with our British friends. It was really amazing and big. There was one particular temple inside which was especially amazing. It was basically completely covered with gold and jewels of all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately you were not allowed to take any pics of it, but it was amazing.
We ended up shopping a little bit more that evening before we had to leave for the airport. Our flight was at 2am and I was not looking forward to the lack of sleep i was about to have.
