Day 8 - Bangkok -> Ayuthaya
So we decided to stop lazing around and get up and out early to see some sights so we did, we went and got the ferry crossing on the chao phraya river (it cost 20p for the both of us!) the breeze was great! We could have stayed on all day! We got off at Th Siam which was the wrong stop oops sorry ben! This meant we had like a 3 mile walk back to the right stop haha! Oh dear! So we got out our map and started walking....about 40mins and one stone lighter we decided to stop for a drink we got talking to an old thai lady (well u couldn't really say it wasnt full blown conversation like considering she couldn't speak English n we couldn't speak Thai haha! But we all laughed and we said thank u in Thai which she seemed really happy that we could say something in her language! She pointed us in the right direction, after walking some more we came across an air conned shopping mall...it was sent from heaven haha! We had a look about there then carried onto the pier. Got the pier turned out it was closed today...so both of us got on some girls scooter and whizzed to the next pier. We then got off at the grand temple had a look around then went to wat pho temple were we wrote our names on a slate which would be fitted to the new temple roof :-). Had a look at a 42m long 14m high Gold Buddha which was amazing then headed back to the hotel by boat. We packed our bags went for tea went on skype and went to bed!
Got up early and got the number 3 bus from khoa San to the northern bus terminal where we had cheese and ham toasties and got the bus to Ayuthaya. 2 hours later and were in Tonys place with a great room with air con double bed and en-suite for 600 baht (£12). We went to the local Market which sold chinese firecrackers and lots of food and clothes. We got the boat back to Tonys where we had our supper and drinks before bed :-).
