A Day Trip to Ayutthaya

We did a one day trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and it really felt like stepping back in time. Once part of the Siamese Kingdom, the city dates back to 1350 and was later destroyed during the Burmese invasion in 1767, leaving behind temples and Buddha statues now standing as ruins. But still very beautiful and amazing to see! Ayutthaya is still home to many Buddhist monasteries, and monks can often be seen walking through the ancient temple grounds. We also went for a super nice seafood lunch a little bit outside of the city, recommended from a local friend in Bangkokg, and wow, sooo good!
