Hello Friends!
It's been a while since I last updated my online journal and this is because of my hectic schedule (work-school-biz-errands). Yes, my life is a bit crazier than usual since I started my mini business called "LaiCa Collection". And before 2013 comes, I like to share with everyone the highlights of my (4Q) 2012...
Last November, I visited Thailand together with my former manager slash travel Buddy, Fhatty. And we are very amazed with the different structure all over the city of Bangkok and in the old city of Ayutthaya. Come and take a look in our newest journey around Thailand.

Wat Phra Si Sanphet which house the remains of King Borommatrailokanat, King Borommarachathirat III and King Ramathibodi II

How to get there:
There are 3 options to reach Ayutthaya; one is the Train at Hua Lamphong station, or you can take the Bus at Northern Terminal or the Minivan at Victory Monument Station.
Arriving Ayutthaya, there is already a TukTuk waiting just beside of the minivan loading station, we then asked how much is the Ayutthaya tour. We immediately agreed to a 4 hours Ayutthaya tour for 8 Temples for a price of 1000 Baht (3pax).
ITINERARY FROM PEX:
1. Take BTS Skytrain to the Victory Monument station, and go right on the elevated walkway - keep on it until you cross a large road, then descend - the buses are parked at the side of the main traffic circle).
We chose to take the Minivan, it cost 60 Baht and only 1 hour ride from Victory Monument to Ayutthaya, this is the last stop so you don't have to worry. I guess this is also the easiest way to reach Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya is one of the best historical places I've ever been. From its rich history to amazing structures, visiting this place is definitely worth it.
