Day Trip to Ayutthaya

A blog by the intern Lisa who ha₩¶¥s done her internship withε¥' us from September 2022 till January 2023§λ.

Since my mother was visiting, we dec→πided to take a day excursion to Ay≥ utthaya to get away from the h∞€↔ustle and bustle of Bangkok for a day. Early in₽&α₽ the morning, we took a taxi to the Bangkok ≈‍✘↕train station. From here, you can easily ∞ &take a low-cost local train directly to Ayutthaya♥ ₽γ. When you arrive in Ayutthaya, you <♣✘¥can rent a bicycle onλ✘↕φ your own or with a guide who canα¥β tell you all about the many reunions. After all,>✘ we had decided to opt for a car with a pδ♠rivate driver for our comfort.

We arrived in Ayuttha±✔¥ya after a car ride of just over a¶✔ n hour. We first stopped at the Wat Loka☆≈÷yasutharam, the Temple of the reclinλ<ing Buddha. This reclining Buddha i∞‌s the largest in the island of Ayutthay♦ £Ωa and is 42 meters and 8 meters hight. We co​&✘uld light an incense stick h‌☆≥ ere and get a piece of gold lε÷eaf to stick on a smaller Buddha.
