Thai travels
After our short stay in Kanchanaburi we then headed back to Bangkok for a couple of days as we had to pick up our visa's for Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia and also sort out our transportation up to Northern Thailand.
Whilst in Bangkok we went to the Grand Palace which is one of the best examples of temple's in Thailand. It's also where you can see the famous Emerald Buddha. The Wat and Palace are stunning with example's of Khmer and Buddhist temples to keep all happy!!
On the way up to Chiang Mai we stopped for a day in Ayuthaya which is the old capital of Thailand. A city of two halves, one side is a bustling Thai town whilst the other half is given up to hundreds of temples, most of which are now in ruins. The best way to get around them was to hire a bike and then go exploring and it's a great way to see all the town has to offer.
It was a nice spending a few days 'templing' in Bangkok and Ayuthaya but now templed out we were ready to head up to Chiang Mai for some relaxation...
