Day 6: Ayutthaya Day Tour!

When we told her about the place, she then directed us to a booth to pay the bus fare for 64 THB each. Then we just waited for the bus to arrive. While waiting, we bought and ate bread in 7/11. They have a lot of cheap foods there. :) At around 7:50 AM, our bus arrived. The travel time would be roughly 2 hours. The bus would stop at a market. So
