Nomads with a Social Life
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 25 January 2011
Now that Lisa and Garrett are safely back in the U.S., we thought we would share one last picture of the four of us hanging out at the giant reclining Buddha at the Wat Lokaya Sutha in Ayutthaya. While nomadic living can be somewhat isolating, we haven’t done too badly over the last twelve months. [...]

Ayutthaya – Temples and Elephants
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 19 January 2011
Riding an elephant was at the top of Lisa’s must-do-list.

Ayuthaya
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 24 May 2010
It felt like the hottest day of the year when we went to Ayuthaya. Equipped with: hat, water, sunscreen, t-shirt, long pants and comfortable shoes, I still could not fight the urge to pass out after our temple spree. Getting to Ayuthaya from Bangkok was really easy. We opted for a local train (no air-con…) which only cost 20 Baht and took under two hours to get there. In retrospect, I really wish I had packed a snack and some water! Once off the train we were ambushed by the tuk-tuk drivers waiting outside the station eager and ready for a new customer.

Blog: Matthew's Travel Blog - My thoughts on everything - 11 February 2010

Thailand Day Two. Ayutthaya, Bangkok.
Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 20 May 2009
It is very unusual for us to go on organised tours, we normally sort out our own tours using books like the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide ect. We had been very lazy and booked a tour with 'River King' at a desk located in our accommodation, my main motivation for this was that I was assured that the tour included a fantastic lunch, the plan was to drive to Ayuthaya then come back to Bangkok on the river.
