The Old Capital "Ayutthaya"

After breakfast, we hopped on a tuk-tuk down to the train station, where we found a train to Ayutthaya for just 15 baht per person. Ayutthaya used to be the capital of Thailand, but it doesn't hold much significance for the country anymore. Now, it's mostly known for its many religious sites, like Buddha statues and temples. From the train station, we had to take a little "raft" across a river to get into the city. It was constantly running and only cost 2 baht. Once we made it to the other side, we rented a tuk-tuk for two hours for 220 baht, which took us around the city to see the sights. At one of the temples, we were blessed by a monk who, being extra polite, even filled our water bottle with holy water. Since we can't drink their water because of the bacteria, we had to pour it out, so we missed out on that extra blessing. Later in the afternoon, we took the train back to Bangkok, but this time a ticket cost 30 baht—double what it was on the way there. In the evening, we headed back to St. Michael's for our final fitting. Afterward, we were invited to dinner by the tailor. The shop was quite busy, so we had to wait a long time to try on our clothes. Luckily, when we finally got to try them on, we were very pleased with the work. The shop was bustling, and it was getting close to 10 PM, so we had to go out for dinner on the tailor's dime. Next to the shop was a nice Thai restaurant that he took us to. He ordered a variety of Thai dishes that we hadn't tried before and said we could just order more if we were still hungry. We had soup, seafood balls, chicken with nuts, and curry. After dinner, we headed over to Khao San Road, where there are plenty of bars and a newly opened nightclub, to celebrate our new purchases.
