C'mon ride the train

I spent a few days in Ayuthaya, nothing to report, I didn't even really see anything while I was there. One day I went walking to check out this old ruined temple and got hopelessly lost. I could always see it over the trees but couldn't figure out how to get inside. I finally gave up and was punished with terrible blisters on my feet.

I took the train to Chiang Mai which so far seems like a really cool place. The train was unreasonably cold. They give you blankets but I would just rather they not put the a/c at 12 degrees. I think I know how it feels to be chased by the papparazzi like a celebrity. At least that's what I imagined when I got off the train and was assaulted by cab drivers. Everyone was yelling on top of eachother so that I could't hear anybody. I just walked through, saying I'm gonna walk. But when I got outside I figured it would actually be reasonable to take a cab. I found a guy outside who took me. I kept thinking how pissed off all those other guys must have been since I turned them down. It's a cab eat cab world here.

I walked around town today and saw some more temples. They are really sweet and everything but how many giant golden buddha sculptures can you see and still be amazed?

Anyway, tomorrow I'm gonna find a new guesthouse because the one I'm in now is dirty. Also the bedroom door just locks with a little suitcase lock. Also, it doesn't have western toilets. I know I'm in asia but when go 23 years with one style of toilet, well you know.
