Ayutthaya (Thailand) Sightseeing International

Newest Review: ... the road straight ahead for about ten minutes, crossing two or three roads that run perpendicular, and you will come to two temples, or Wats, as they are known in Thailand. This is where your sightseeing begins, and from here almost all of the walking or cycling you will do will be through parks.
