the lost elephant city...Ayutthaya
10 of may 2009, I'm drivig from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, one of the most interesting old city in the history of Thailand....After two hours driving, I'll be arriving in this mistic, holy and magic place... 
Ancients Temples remember to us, the golden days in Thailand. Here, the Elephants are considered Holy Animals and guardians of the Kingdom of the city and Thailand....ladies and gents, welcome to the lost civilization of Ayutthaya...
The ancient city of Ayutthaya, or Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, The Thai capital for 417 years, is one of Thailand’s major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U - Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbours. During the period of Ayutthaya being the Thai capital, 33 kings of different dynasties ruled the kingdom until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767.

ps: hey, hey! nos tenemos qu sentir muy orgullosos como Chilenos...en cada restaurant pirulo que he vivitado el unico vino que se ofrece es el vino Chileno ...Mont Grass, Caillero, Alma Viva Concha y Toro...luego como segunda opcion vinos Italianos y Franceses...mire eh!
it is an amazing place Ayutthaya... you can feel something special, like a power in the air...
at the same time it is like a travel to the past...to the old thailand with traditions untouch for the time...
the holy elephants they are made in jade, but the white ones "Marfil", from bones and elephants teeths...they take some pieces when they cut the sharp parts for security... the elephants can be very patien and freindly animals and very agressive in any momment....
greetings back to Chile and keep traveling with us

¡Hola Seba, Amy ! maravillosa Tailandia , sobre todo esa ciudad alejada de lo turístico(eso parece) . Preciosas las fotos en las que estáis encima del elefante , frente al lago y con el templo detrás. Pues sí , me dais sana envidia `por el estupendo viaje que hacéis. Un saludo desde España y un abrazo.Franchesca

Crazy Drile
buenisimo tenerte por aca Franchesca, hemos recorridos lugares impresionantes en un tour que como tu bien dices, es bastante alejado de un normal tour o ruta turistica....en mi caso siempre opto por el turismo local, las comidas de la calle en contraste con los elegantes y excentricos restaurantes y las conversaciones e intercambio de culturas con la gente local
la gente de Thailandia es realmete muy amable con la gente de afuera, especialmente si tratas de halar su lenguaje (thai)...
pronto mas capitulos y mas flores exoticas para ti
Un abrazo desde Asia

Mr Suruyevsky, first Im glad to tell you that this morning I sent one envelop with your name and one little souvenir from this wild and crazy lands...just wait one week and enjoy
Ayutthaya was invaded before for Burma, they stold a lot of pieces and holy estatues from the temple, and after that people here believe that Buddha and the guardian came in dreams and nightmares in the mind of the burmese ...amazing!
Im reading two books at the same time in the night, and 7 am we wake up to start a new journey...Crazy Drile never stops! hahahhahahha
enjoy my nexts chapter and your souvenir as well

I'm triying to give inspiration for people how want to travel and live the culture in another countries... advices from a normal traveller like everyone, not like some tv shows, fantastic, expensives places and very touristic way....
