Trip to Ayutthaya
































Thursday, I took a daylong tour to visit the ancient Thai capital that is 50 miles up river from Bangkok. A bus drive up there with a stop at the Summer Palace, Bang Pa-In, and a return by large boat with buffet lunch. It was a nice day, excellent weather and pleasant company.
This was the capital from 1380 to 1767 when the Burmese captured and ransacked Ayutthaya and the capital was moved to Bangkok.
Today, I fly up north to Chiang Mai.
