From the May 2016 trip to Thailand and Cambodia:
Ayuthaya is really just a day trip from Bangkok. It’s about 1.5-2 hours by small van (and was about 60 baht/person, if I remember correctly). Ayuthaya is an interesting place in that it’s the former capital of Siam and, now, is famous for its ruins (Angkor Wat-ish, which made this day trip a pretty good preview for me, since we spent 2+ full days in Angkor a week after being here).
The ruins are quite fascinating. Ayuthaya was, in its prime, one of the largest cities in the world. It was the capital of Siam from 1350-1767 and was a major trading port, which led to a lot of international comingling. The capital finally fell in 1767 at the hands of the Burmese, who went on to destroy almost everything they could.
After 1767, the majority of temples simply began to fall into ruin. It wasn’t until 1991 when UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site that renovation/restoration truly began. The Burmese, for their part, have contributed to rebuilding.
The old city of Ayuthaya is located on an island – manmade, if I’m not mistaken – surrounded by sprawling, modern-day, urbanized and otherwise completely unmemorable buildings in a panoramic sense. The minivan drops you off at the eastern edge of the island, where you’re generally assailed upon by a horde of tuktuk drivers. For 800 baht, we had one hired for the day, who took us to six sites.
On the particular day that we visited here (Tuesday, May 10, 2016), it was fairly hot. The temperature was close to 100 degrees (38*C). We arrived at the first of six (though there are many more) temples around 11:00.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon (20 baht) was built by King U Thong in 1357 to house Sri Lankan monks. It’s just outside the main island on the eastern or southeastern part of town. The highlights of this temple are the somewhat large reclining Buddha and the rows of Buddhas which surround the main chedi. It’s not a large temple, though it was pretty interesting and photogenic.
The second site (through the fifth) were all located on the main island. Wat Phra Mahathat (50 baht) has the most-photographed site in Ayuthaya: a sandstone Buddha head entwined in a tree’s root system. The temple was built in 1374 during the reign of King Borom Ratchathirat I. The other points of interest at Wat Mahathat are the Khmer-style prangs (chedis) and the rows of headless Buddhas. Wat Mahathat is quite a bit bigger than Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, and it’s easy to spend an hour here.
From Wat Mahathat, the third stop was quite near: Wat Phra Si Sanphet (50 baht). Per Lonely Planet, Wat Si Sanphet was built during the late 15th century and once contained a 16-meter high standing Buddha covered with 250 kg of gold that the Burmese melted down and ran off with. What is still remaining are three rather impressive and easily-recognizable chedi (chedi just means stupa, or pagoda) that are the highlight of a visit here. Like Wat Mahthat, the grounds here are a bit large, though there are fewer ruins here than at Mahathat. This temple was used by quite a few kings.
Next door to Wat Si Sanphet was the fourth stop: Wihaan Phra Mongkhon Bophit. This is a sanctuary hall which houses one of the largest (17-meter high) bronze Buddha statues in the country. The Buddha has undergone quite a few restorations after lightning strikes and fire. In 1955, the Burmese Prime Minister donated 200,000 baht (a little over $6,000) to restore the building. Between Wat Si Sanphet and here, one can easily spend another hour, if not longer.
Wat Lokaya Sutha was the fifth stop, and is on the western side of the main island. Of the six stops, it was the least impressive…primarily because there’s not much to see except for a reclining Buddha, which is rather large. The actual temple itself, though, is long gone. Spending more than 5-10 minutes here is probably a few minutes longer than necessary.
Our last stop of the afternoon was Wat Chai Wattanaram (50 baht/person). This is one of the more recent temples/ruins (built in 1673 by King Prasat Thong). LP says that, “Just 40 years ago, this temple and one-time garrison were immersed in thick jungle.” None of that is evident now. It’s actually a dry, dusty temple with a very distinct 35-meter high central prang surrounded by 4 medium-sized prangs (at the NE, SE, SW, and NW corners) and four smaller prangs at the cardinal directions. This temple is quite picturesque, though given the heat, we were about ready to call it a day after having spent about 30-45 minutes here.
Finally having finished, we had our tuktuk driver take us back to the bus station (a garage, really), where we immediately caught a van back to Bangkok and spent our last evening (for now) wandering around Chinatown (quickly) before going back to Th Khao San for a more relaxing dinner.
Hey British Airways, you lost my bag last night at Heathrow off BA 198 from Mumbai. This is a picture of my bag. As you can see it's pretty easy to spot [BRIGHT YELLOW!]. Help! It's snowing and all I have is a t-shirt!

昨天下雨，在公车靠窗的位置上听歌，刚好播到陈升《思念人之屋》，十分应景。
住在窗台上的薄荷草
它在醒来时就迎着光
如果会说话 我想它会说 啊 这样的天气 只能思念人
独自走在雨中的小黄狗 它在散步的路上来拜访我
想起她曾说 如果想到我 却找不到人说 就和它聊天
But, don't talk to a dog at raining days.
So, don't talk to a dog at raining days.
我想它有自己的寂寞 所以才孤独的走在雨中
Hello, Baby dog. 是否你要借把伞 She is gone.
I am living in the ' house of missing you'.
I am living in the ' house of missing you'.
迷漫房子里的咖啡香 提醒我你在心灵的异乡
不再属于我，是否想到我 他对你好吗？ 其实～我还好～。
But, don't talk to a dog at raining days.
So, don't talk to a dog at raining days.
我想它有自己的心痛 所以才湿淋淋的走在雨中
Hello, Baby dog. 是否你和我一样 She is gone.
I am living in the ' house of missing you'.
I am living in the ' house of missing you'.
This week has been really difficult, lots of things seem to be going wrong and I am just feeling miserable.
One of the main contributing factors to misery has been the fact that 'my man' seems to have gone AWOL.. whether he found out something about me, something about the project.. I do not know, all I know is that I need to speak to him to get his permission to use him in my show and just to appologise for being quite cruel to what I think is a genuinely nice man..
I'm sorry.
I'm putting this in the Lancaster Guardian too- only they want to identify me, and take pictures of me, which sort of might fuck up with the whole process..
I need him back!
The missing piece to the historical puzzle of the Staunton Depot, although the road name doesn't match with area it's still gives that feel as if you are back in the steam area when railroading was ever so grand. 10/07/23
See anything different? Combat (1977) is missing its sticker on top of the cartridge. These can fall off, especially since the game is 40 years old.
Charley took care of his games, because (besides the sticker being off) they're in great condition.

As I am packing my bags for china I realized I will be without my wife for one month. It's hard enough without the kids but it will be one month before my wife will meet up with me in china next month. Already missing you.

On the face to it, this picture is pretty unremarkable. The woman at the front is cut off, back of a mans head not much going on and everyone is on their phone - except for the two on the left. They struck up a conversation on the train station platform after the young lady asked the man if he had the train line app to see which train would get her in to her stop quickest. He didn't have a smart phone but did have one thing - experience.
I had been out taking pictures all day in the freeing cold at a homes for people protest and listened, shivering, as they traded stories about their day, their plans for the weekend and their hopes and dreams for the future. They then boarded the train together and continued their conversation. I noticed the train was packed with people, in the assumed position; heads down, squinting into a tiny box of lights, earphones in - no doubt after a long day looking at a computer screen and oblivious to the world around them.
How many 'missed moments' will occur because we had to check our Facebook for our friends latest post, or our fave celebs latest tweets? Life is an endless series of moments and we risk missing them by being disconnected from the world around us. Technology has enabled us to be more connected and wider connected than ever before but it is disconnecting us at a closer, more intimate level more than ever.
Ironically I took my phone and camera out to capture this 'missed moment' as the train began to empty, maybe missing my own moment whilst I tweeted and took the picture, but I thought it was one I had to take. More often than not, I let pictures pass rather than take them because I don't feel every moment needs to captured, just experienced. We can look through our viewfinder too often and for too long and not actually see the world around us. Sometimes a chat is everything.
GET READY FOR MISSING.
DISTURBING LIKE DAVID LYNCH.
BEAUTIFUL LIKE CINEMA PARADISO.
