Around Ayutthaya (Day 1)
The iconic Buddha head at Wat Mahathat After a very bumpy yet adventurous 12-hour night train ride from Chiang Mai , we finally arrived Ayutthaya at around 5AM. But since our guesthouse only opens at 7AM, we waited up at the Ayutthaya Railway Station while people-watching. It's good that they have a quite an orderly station and it wasn't as chaotic as I thought it would be. So when we finally got into our guesthouse, we immediately took a proper sleep on the mattress and was woken up by our growling tummies. So we rented a scooter from our guesthouse for 300 Baht for the next 24 hours which was acceptable. Though it was quite a challenge for a Filipino driver who's used to driving on the right side of the road at first, Marlou finally got a hang of it as few minutes after riding the scooter. The tricky part is passing by the countless roundabouts in the city that I had to remind him over and over again to stay on the left after making a turn or after each roundabout....
