Thailand (January, 2003) – After a rather uneventful train ride; the adventure started by negotiating a rickshaw driver to cart us around the historical ruins of Ayutthaya. We roamed from temples to monasteries, and stopped to observe various size and shaped buddhas – including an ancient buddha head enveloped in the roots of a banyan tree. I marvelled at the weathered history; the dilapidated stones and the overgrown trees in the former Siamese capital.
