168 Cycling Thailand's Central Plains

(Leana) #1

Ang Thong – Ayutthaya - 65 km
I had no intention of going to Ayutthaya but ended up there anyway.
Again, the way was mainly along a canal dotted by typical Thai-style
timber homes on stilts and, of course, numerous temples, one more
ornate than the other.

In Ayutthaya, I cycled to the train station thinking of taking a train
into Bangkok, but there was a two-hour wait for the train and,
instead, I sought out my old favourite Baan Lotus Guesthouse, a
converted old schoolhouse. I felt tired and only walked to the shop for
food and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon.
