Diary - Thailand Day 9

Day 9 – 1^st July 2010

Early morning, we take minivan to Ayuthaya, located outside of Bangkok and the journey is around 90 minutes away. We engaged local tuk-tuk for 100baht per hour and it was a temple-visit-tour. The famous was the Buddha’s head inside the tree trunk. The story goes back to war time in Thailand where some people has destroyed the statue and left the head on the tree. 

As the tree grows bigger, it consumed the head statue in between its trunk.  We have KFC for lunch and take the same minivan back to Bangkok. We drop at China town, whole sale market and temples. There was one desert that my friend cant take off her mind, ice peanut desert with syrup thingy, nice.

At the evening, we go to Khao San road, mainly designated for foreign tourists and a lot Korean restaurant as well there.  If you don't mind the condition of the road side, the food at road side quite delicious and cheaper, and it is more local. Khao San is similar with our Jalan Bukit Bintang Changkat and nothing special but worth visiting of course.
