Christmas in the Ruins

I took an early train to make the most of my day in Ayutthaya.  This is one of the ancient capitals of Thailand.  It is well know for its many temple and palace ruins still in pretty good nick.  I was surprised at seeing the water line from the recent flood.  The ancient capital is situated on a very big river island.  I'm sure the entire island must have been flooded.


I also took in some of the further sights and looked in on the old Japanese Village and the neighbouring Portuguese Village which is where trade between these countries and Thailand was conducted.
