After our healthy, yoghurt & ovaltine, (real early morning) breakfast in front of the 7-11 we headed to search for a guesthouse to catch up on some sleep before visiting Ayuthaya...found a place with a bed, hot shower & wifi so went for it. After 10min it was clear the wifi & hot water both didn't work. Since this is what we wanted, we decided to leave the place again. The owner obviously didn't like that; understandably, but if the only use of the room is to sit down & check if wifi is working...you can hardly call that usage. In the lobby we then also heard that wifi wasn't working for days, but when asked if they have wifi they obviously say "yes, have!" ;-) Anyway, at some point she even mentioned calling the police to resolve the matter. 1) what matter? 2)It also vanished any doubt we had of maybe staying afterall. So picked up our bags & left. Easily found another GH (checking all requirements on our list) so we showered & took a nap.
Afternoon started with a rice/chicken plate (instead of our usual noodlesoup ;-)), followed with a bikeride through town along the numerous old temple sites. Most of them require to pay a small entrance fee, but we could see all we needed from outside & the one's we did venture into we found nobody/nowhere to pay?? It feels a little bit like Angkor, albeit on a much smaller scale. A bit different & very nice is the fact that the remains are very well integrated into the modern city whereas in Angkor the temples are a good distance out of town. Found thai edamame roadside snack, more 7-11 ovaltine (Line is growing a serious addiction) & a lot of huge chicken worship statues around town?? We also like chicken....but that much to worship it? Line even managed to get the 7-11 ovaltine machine stuck so it kept on sprouting it's brown gold. She didn't opt to resolve the problem by hanging under the tap & trying to outdrink the machine, but yelled to the shop worker about the problem that she professionally solved by shoving her finger into the nozzle. Miraculously when removing the finger, the flow had ceased.

Tof dat je reactie krijgt van vreemde bezoekers van blog. Aan fotos te merken dat thailand weerom bevalt. Peyo vergeten?
