Pink Wheelies
Ayuthaya is the site of numerous historic temples which are scattered around the city so we decide the best way to view them is by bicycle. Pink cruisers to be exact.
We spent the day peddling between Wats, snapping away pictures of temples, and popping a few wheelies for good measure. Wat Mahathat (famously known for the Buddha head encased in tree roots), Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Phra Sisanphot, Wihara Phra Mongkon Bophit, Wat Chai Catamaran - just to name a few of the temples we visited. The most interesting of course were the ones we just happened upon while riding our pink peddles.
After a hard day of temple viewing we deservedly enjoyed a few beers on our riverside deck and watched the river activity - boats full of karaoke singers partying it up and tugboats pulling amazing barges - an interesting combination.
