Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand. I got to see the temple, and it was all wrecked because of the Burmese. The city was destroyed in the 2nd fall of Ayutthaya.  All of the Buddha's heads were cut off because the Burmese wanted to destroy everything. There are remains of the brick buildings. The brick buildings use to be covered with cement, but now there is mostly brick showing. The cement has worn off.

   Later, we went to a temple that had a humongous sitting Buddha. We offered cloth to get blessed. They threw the cloth to the people that were on the statue. Those people dressed the Buddha with the cloth. Then they threw the rest of the cloth on the people and said a prayer. It was different.
After Ayutthaya, we went to Korat. This is near my Tha-Tha's village. We had dinner with some of his brothers and sister. I was exited to see them again. -Vanessa
