ayuthaya. the ancient thai capital lays in ruins a couple of hours by train north of bangkok. we spent the day on bicycle crossing from one section of ancient palases to the next, taking our time, taking in the pieces of great buddha statues that were destroyed in raids by the northern burmese hundreds of years ago. it was truly a magical experience. it is sad to say that only a month after our visit to ayuthaya, the "island", as it is encompassed by two rivers, was covered by the spring flood of 2012.
