I’ll admit it’s been over a year since I was last in Southeast Asia. It breaks my heart to say it. I fell in love with Asia, and Thailand was one of my favourite countries in the region. Thailand is a natural starting point, and flights to Bangkok are some of the cheapest and easiest [...]
For an avid followers of my blog (if there are any of you!), you will recognize that most of these photos have already been featured in my “Favourite Photo” posts. Ayutthaya was a wonderful place for a burgeoning photographer. The ruins, the people, and the light provide a stunning setting to explore. For anyone interested, [...]
Everyone has that point while traveling, when things are going wrong, you are tired and you hate packing and moving every few days. If they say they don’t, it’s a lie. For me, it happened in Chaing Mai. After leaving Siem Reap, I hadn’t stayed longer than 4 nights in a single place, and apart [...]

Here is one last photo from Ayutthaya. Attractions or places like Ayutthaya, that are shrouded in history and old world beauty are my favourite to visit. Some of my favourite days in Asia were spent wandering around old temples and getting to know the current characters that make them interesting. Tweet This Post
Ayutthaya is full of Buddhas, both big and small as it turns out. I ended up doing a day trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, and spent the full day biking around the ruins. I had a spectacular day, although it was a little warm for so much biking. Tweet This Post
This is a classic image of Thailand. The Buddha Head in the Tree at Ayutthaya was a must-see sight for me in Thailand. It exemplifies unity between nature and humanity, and is stunning in the fact that it is masterpiece created by nature (with some help from humans). Tweet This Post
