on my birthday, my friend Alan took me to Ayuthaya province, about an hour north of Bangkok, with his friends (from l-r in pic below) Mok, (Alan), Nathan, and Job.

Ayuthaya was the former royal capitol of Thailand, and has a very rich history with the country. lots of old temples and statues and religious significance. including a giant reclining buddha and a buddha head stuck and wrapped around in tree roots. you can see a lot of temples and stuff below, even a strange bug.


at this one temple with a really giant buddha inside, there were these sticks you could pick with numbers on them to get a type of horoscope based on what you picked.

and then, for my birthday, we went to a very special place for dinner



in Thailand


Sizzler!
