The last few days

Çap edildi: 15.08.2022


I love punctuality. Especially when a whole group is involved. The Spanish and Italian fellow travelers on the tour to Ayutthaya

apparently not. The tour starts with a delay due to the lack of punctuality and is constantly delayed in further sales.

I find that cheeky. But I still have to complain. It is - with all due respect - stupid to come to a temple tour with almost falling out breasts just because the top is nothing more than a belt.

Be that as it may.

We are going to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Thailand and home to the kings. For around 400 years (1350 - 1767), the former metropolis was the center of power, wealth, and trade. For a long time, the metropolis was considered impregnable (Ayutthaya means invincible) and until 1767 it was one of the largest cities in the world. It not only housed up to a million inhabitants during its heyday, but was also extremely popular with Europeans due to its 375 temples, 94 city gates, 29 defense forts, and flourishing trade. However, the historical Ayutthaya came to a sudden end when the Burmese completely destroyed Ayutthaya during a 14-month siege in 1767 - the royal city never recovered from this attack. To give the kingdom of Siam a new splendor, King Rama I started building a new and representative temple and palace in Bangkok, the current capital of Thailand, 15 years later.

Even today, you can still sense the glorious era of Ayutthaya. A variety of ruins, archaeological sites, palaces, Buddhist temples, monasteries, and statues can be admired on the Ayutthaya trip.

In Ayutthaya, we can expect countless ruins, temples, and Buddha statues. The most beautiful sights and temples of Ayutthaya await us in the UNESCO Historic Park. The day is beautiful but exhausting, my knee is not doing what it should. Our guide takes care of me and we first get tape, but when that doesn't help, we go to the nearest pharmacy. It was a long day, my knee hurts, I go to bed. Tomorrow is departure day.

I would love to go to the skywalk, but the journey takes 50 minutes one way. I'd rather take a slow morning and go to the rooftop pool. It's time to look for food at 12 o'clock... I turn into a small street, a woman is cooking and leaves me no choice, I have to eat with her. Of course!

She is confused that I don't want to sit inside where the air conditioning is, I sit outside and let Bangkok soak in again. I like it here.

The Nasi Goreng is super delicious, and Yupa is amazed when I add a lot of chili. She wants to know where I come from and if they eat spicy there.

We start talking - she has lived in Germany for many years and still speaks it quite well.

We talk and talk... I really have to go soon, but somehow I don't leave. A young man comes out from inside and hands her his phone; so that she can give the exact address to the delivery guy. I am surprised and ask him: why he - if he has such great food at the door - is ordering food. The answer is simple: he loves Indian food and doesn't trust the street stalls here yet. Strange. My comment: "then at least give us some."

He goes back inside and comes back out less than a minute later... "where are you? I want to share my food.."

Okay, I don't say no to that. I go inside, I am instructed to wash my hands and then we eat really good Indian food from a bowl.

Yupa also comes in, dips her hands in and offers her food as well. I am full! It was really good.

And besides ordering Indian food, Nashi is also looking for a job here... speaking of jobs... English teachers are urgently needed. I should think about it... we exchange numbers in a circle. Let's see what they're good for.

And during the massage that I treat myself to afterwards, the topic comes up again.

I should contact her if I need help or have any questions.

Hmm, interesting. But now quickly to the airport.

We are going via Singapore to Berlin.

I love Singapore, but their food options are shit. On the outbound journey, we already had problems finding something.

Today, I only read "cash only
