Ayuthaya is famous for its ruined temples and palaces, and (according to the Lonely Planet),
that's all there is.
The first thing is absolutely true, the second only for a little bit.
The ruins are very popular, a lot of tourists, buses full of tourists, but most of them
only visit Wat Phra Si Sanphet.
The other ruins are very quiet, and even Wat Phra Si Sanphet is quiet if you walk more
than 50 metres.
Take in mind, that you have to pay an entrance fee at every ruin.
As usual in Thailand, tourist pay more than Thai ( 30 bath and 10 bath), and the same
applies to beer.
In the evening, some ruins are illuminated, beautiful!
At the corner of Thanon Chee Kun and Thanon Naresuan (the quite corner!) is a restaurant
(sorry, we forgot it's name), where you can have a good meal and where you can enjoy
the view of some illuminated ruins.
