A Day in Ayutthaya
A day in Ayutthaya is about my trip to the old capital of Thailand. Ayutthaya is a world heritage area and I visited the Reclining Buddha that wears a yellow robe. This Buddha is situated in Wat Chai Mongkon. The next station was the palace of King U-Thong and his amazing display of roosters. A further memorable sight was visiting Wat Phanan Choeng and the giant golden Buddha. Finally, there is Wat Mahathat with its most famous image of Ayutthaya, the Buddha head wrapped within a banyan tree.
