This place was great, I can barely image what it must have been like in its heyday. I guess it got wrecked pretty bad during the Burmese invasions. The Burmese never really conquered Ayutthaya, they just rolled in, broke a bunch of stuff, and looted the hell out of it. They melted down anything with gold on it and decapitated every stone Buddha statue they could get their hands on. How unfortunate.
heya Jesse!
ReplyDeleteI really love your blog. The pictures you put up are amazing too- did you take them yourself? And are you Buddhist?
