Thailand Day 3 - Part 2 Suvarnabhumi

Final post on my recent journey to the land of Smiles...

It was a spanking new airport (with lots of trouble according to the locals). Anyhow, the check in lines were long... MUCH longer than those at KLIA. After checking in, I proceeded to admire the interesting architecture of the airport...

It was twilight as I walked towards boarding - a tinge of sadness always accompanies me when I leave a foreign land and wonder about the daily life of the people I leave behind.

In any case, I dropped by a cute cosy corner of a restaurant called, appropriately enough, Asian Corner. Whacked some...




I cannot resist tod mun pla (fishcake)...







Of course rice is staple... this time with some fragrant tofu...




Went I got home, I looked at the spoils of my travels...













The dehydrated pineapple and mango were quite horrid though... too sweet and no fruity taste.







Until my next travels...

Thailand Day 2 - Part 1 Ayuthaya

It was an early Saturday morning when we set off for Ayuthaya...

Ayuthaya's ruins tell the story of a glorious past for Siam and it was indeed irresistable to take countless photos there...

After walking tirelessly in the cool but dusty atmosphere, we stopped by a local stall for lunch. It was indeed delicious... pork noodles, fish cake (tod mun pla) and spring rolls! Imagine... a meal of RM13.00 for 3 people! The place was packed full of locals... so you would expect it to be good!
















After that quick but extremely tasty lunch, we went on to Wat Yai Chaimongkorn. The place was teeming with devotees and tourists but also exuded a lot of spiritual energy. I did not hesitate to offer some prayers.
