Travel Notes
Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya is full name of Ayutthaya, one of the city in Thailand, near Bangkok. My first impression about the city name - Ayutthaya: Ancient-ly Beautiful.

Reading the history of the city that confirm my impression above then later on found that it is included in UNESCO World Heritage Site, significantly increase my desire to visit the city during my trip to Thailand in 2010.

Ayutthaya: God and Man


This picture was taken by me during trip in Ayutthaya - Thailand.

See the comparison between the man and the Wat always give me a little bit of chill. The Wat represent GOD's home and yes it is BIG comparing to the man standing. The man look so tiny!

Travel Notes

Back to year 2010, as part of my Thailand trip, I had a chance to insert a short trip to Siam Reap, Cambodia to see the majestic Angkor Wat.

The easiest and most comfortable way going to Cambodia from Thailand would be by Air. BUT at that moment (and might be until now), the airline cost from Bangkok to Siam Reap is high. One way ticket can cost me USD 200 more or less for only 1 hour of flight duration. This happenned due to the monopoly of Bangkok Airways (through Siam Reap Airlines as its affiliated) for the route.
