Bangkok - Day 2

Joined a tour that goes to the ancient city of Ayutthaya, which is an hour drive north of bangkok. My pickup was at 11 and it took an hour to get us to another rally point where i was put on a different bus.

Just before the ancient city, we were brought to a pretty spot by the water for a paid lunch buffet. And then off to 4 different sites, all about 5 minutes drive apart from eachother.

Really impressive structures and each site was more impressive than the previous. Two different martial arts movies were filmed at these locations too, and i can see why. Fantastic setting for it. Kickboxer. And Mortal Kombat. Befriended a really nice russian guy on the tour but didn't get his contact info.

On the ride back, we got dropped off at a huge centre that seemed to have a bit of everything. Much closer to my hotel than that rally point so i was feeling pretty happy about it. Especially because the skytrain that starts at that centre goes right to my hotel.

As soon as i got on the platform, a train arrived and i quickly squeezed on. Shortly after leaving the station i noticed there were 2 different skytrain lines that my train could be on and one was definitely not going to my hotel. And of course, thats the train i was on unfortunately. I got off as soon as i could to minimize the distance away from my hotel and from there i could see i was a 30 minute walk to my hotel... so i decided to walk a pretty nice part of the city instead of hiring a tuk tuk. I came across 2 Tim Hortons stores much to my surprise. Weird!!

Grabbed a quick meal just across from my hotel and i think all the jetlag caught up to me. Was in bed around 9pm and that was it until the morning.Read more
