Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya

A wooden homestay at the outskirt of Ayutthaya. Comfortable stay with the friendly host. The guesthouse is well decorated, facing the paddy field (sadly they harvest it the week before our arrival). There is a platform in front of the house, where you can chill or enjoy the swing. Free bicycles are available too.

Delicious seafood, especially the big head river prawns. Pick super large prawns if you want to enjoy the tomalley, else a medium ones are better if you want to enjoy the meat. Seafood hotpot is nice too. After the meal, drop by their ice cream fridge as they have some interesting Thai flavoured ice cream.

Plenty to explore in our homestay at the outskirt of Ayutthaya.

Rent a costume before touring the ancient city of Ayutthaya. Reasonably priced with many color and style to choose from.

The ruins of an ancient Buddhist temple is pretty impressive, especially on a good weather day. You can rent ancient Thai costumes and take some really nice photos here.

A huge stone reclining Buddha is still very much intact and charming, with a huge head, huge feat and long body. Entrance is free.

This huge bronze Buddha is the restoration of the original Phra Mongkon Bopit sculpted in 1538, as tall as 12.5 meters.

The holiest temple of old Ayutthaya, destroyed by Burmese in 1767. The main attractions are the Stupa/Chedi (where kings are buried) and remains of the old holy city.

Affordable and delicious boat noodle.

This place have many Prangs and Buddha statues (many are headless due to war with Burmese). The most iconic tourist attraction is the Buddha head wrapped by a Banyan tree.

A special local dessert: Roti Sai Mai (colourful candy floss wrapped with rice flour skin). First time trying it and love it. It is a very interesting kind of dessert.

Decent food and dessert by the Riverside.
