4月7日 星期一 大城古迹游

状况12早上7点半，我们的司机迟到了。。

原来并不是放飞机惊魂，而是他们在对面的Ambassador Hotel等我们。

嗯，我们这几个穷光蛋是住不起对面的酒店的。。司机也未免太看得起我们了。。
状况13，司机竟然没穿标准的蓝色制服。并指着他的肚子说他accident（我想他是要说肚子痛）可是他看起来很健康，过后他就把他的朋友介绍给我们。。我们开始担心我们会再次经历从pattaya回来的惊险路程。。

确定是1200baht后，我们就“战战兢兢”地上车。。我想这个司机应该是演戏的。介绍这样的“康涛”可以抽拥叭。
一上车，我们就批评司机放我们飞机，抱怨可能再次被骗。。没想到司机开口了。。他。。会说华语,一大惊喜。而且还蛮标准的。。哇, 赚到了

在一个小时的路程里，我们把所有在泰国的疑惑一一向司机问个水落石出。这个会讲华语的司机原来是曾经在台湾工作两年。但签证到期后回国做工。。以下是他的照片还有电话号码。不错的司机哦
据旅游手册，有几个景点是必去的，考量了时间地点，从9点到2点半我们只去了8个Wat。。原来1200baht是早上的租费而已，我们决定延长到下午2点半加多300baht,总共是1500baht,再加100baht小费




Ayutthaya,这里的古迹都被严格地保护着。。处处都保留着原始的味道。没有过度的发展。来到这里与曼谷那繁忙的感觉非常不同。
由于司机也是第一次来这个地方。。呵呵，所以他也很依赖我们的地图。。一路上，我们也有看到有人骑着大象环绕古迹哦。。可是价钱太贵了。。穷光蛋们还是决定坐Mr ah(第一声）ah(第二声）的车到处逛。。




第一站：Wat Phra Mongkol Bophit


Wihan Phra Mongkol Bophit: Phra Mongkol Bophit, a large bronze cast Buddha image, was originally enshrined outside the grand palace to the east. King Songtham commanded it to be transferred to the west where it is currently enshrined and covered with the Mondop. During the 2nd fall of Ayuttaya, the building and the image were badly destroyed by fire. The one currently seen is a reconstruction

第二站：Wat Phra Si Sanphet

就在Wat Phra Mongkol Bophit的隔壁



Dating From 1491, Wat Phra Si Sanphet was located inside the compound of the king's palace-the foundations of which are still visible-and served as the royal chapel, as Wat Phra Keo does in Bangkok. The three main chedis, although poorly restored, contain the ashes of three Ayutthaya kings, and the extent of the temple's ruins attests to its former splendor


第三站：Wat Ratburana 入门费:30baht
仿佛回到了古代。。 About halfway between the current town center and the ruins of the royal palaces is Wat Ratburana. Established in 1424 by King Boromaraja II, the temple was built to hold the ashes of his elder brothers, who killed each other in battle -- on elephant back -- fighting over the throne.
The temple's tall prang is better preserved that Wat Phra Ram, with many nagas, garudas and other statues beautifully rendered in stucco. Inside the prang is a crypt of sorts in which, during restorations in 1957, a whole wealth of relics was recovered. These can now be seen in the Chao Sam Phraya Museum near the main ruins
