Travel2Thailand: Ayyuthaya

With Kisi @ wat mahat than, ayyuthaya Thailand. 


All is ruin from old centuries ago. Only I left to wonder why all is left in ruin. This place is so majestic and serene. Pretty calming, I must say. But looking at how bad the shape of Buddha statues here, which was caused by the war between Burma and Thai centuries before, I start to wonder whether passion of war and conflict is as old as the human being itself. 

Then I look at the girl next to me, who would fly across to Bangkok just to be with me and for whom I flew to Beijing 2 years ago. I looked back at the ruin and place my gratitude back to the hand of nature who has given me love and friendship that i believe will pass the test of time. 

No more anger and sadness. Just gratitude. Like the students who prayed all their heart in front of Buddha statue and send their gratitude for the good mark they will have ahead.
