Another day trip to Ayutthaya


We decided to go out for the day - it was a Saturday.


The first place we stopped was Bla Bla Boo Dog Cafe. This was a lot of fun for the rest of the family but for me the food was good and they were happy.


Then we left to visit a temple - Wat Maha That. This was clearly a Wat with a lot of history to it and I could have taken photographs forever - worth visiting.


Then we had to stop at a tree in the grounds - Buddha Head in Tree Roots - and this was clearly quite moving and a place that if you can make a stop here it was certainly worth it (and there are a lot of websites about this). Or was it so long since I had visited some special places?


Then it was Wat Racha Burana (Temple of the Royal Restoration). Again an old temple and taken care of by the people - it was very busy but beautiful.


After this it was time for a coffee - so we chose a cafe adjacent to Wat Racha Burana - it's name was Prang View Cafe. And it certainly had a great view! And the coffee and cakes were good BUT the Oreo milkshake was superb!!!



Then another temple - Wat Thammikarat. This had a magnificent Buddhist head at the front, 

a set of candles for the Chinese New Year and an Ancient Well. Well worth visiting.


Then the next temple was Wat Mongol Bophit. This had both an old area and a new area - which was very busy and had an enormous Buddha inside. 


Over the wall of the old part there were elephants walking along the road!


On the way home a Chedi (วงเวียนเจดีย์วัดสามปลื้ม) had been turned into a roundabout!

We would come again.
