Today was Mother's Day here in Thailand and so our school got a day off from the holiday. So we decided to go to Ayutthaya which used to be the capital city of Thailand and now is a hot spot for tourists to view the ancient ruins. I wasn't sure about the whole excursion but this day ended up being an incredible experience...
Anywhere you want to go outside of our Uni-Tec you have to take many forms of transportation. It can be an exhausting but fun experience everytime you travel. It ended up being us five SM's to make our way to Ayutthaya by ourselves with little direction. We started out with a Song Tao which took us to the BTS station (sky tram), then riding it to the end where we took a taxi to the bus station. From the bus station it was an hour and 15min drive to Ayutthaya. Altogether is was about a 2hour trip to the city. The nice thing about being American and with a large group is that people always know that you need help. Even if the squinted eye brows, blank faces, and hands in the air of "I don't know where we are or what to do" did not come across as a big hint.
