Ayuthaya

 

Ayuthaya is an amazing city. There are dozens of ancient wats all very close to each other. One day we rented bicycles and rode around, visiting a handful of them. It was really pleasant and quaint despite an inordinate number of roundabouts, and all the cars drove on the wrong side of the street. My bike had a bell, but it seemed rather puny compared to the elephant rambling down the road. Every wat was different, but they all had one thing in common - tons of Buddha statues.

 

Phra Mongkhon Bohpit.

 

Reclining Buddha.

 

At one point, they resculpted Buddha's head for a more regal look.
