Sunday driver, yeah

Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand from 1351 to 1767. I wandered around the Ayutthaya Historical Park and Other Places in Ayutthaya and took pictures.

1767 was the end of the Ayutthaya kingdom, when the Burmese army sacked the city. They also beheaded most of the Buddha images. A few of them have been restored.

This little Prang chattered and squeaked with bats. I climbed up and tried to take a picture, but it looks just as bad as my last attempt. Bats are tricksy creatures.
