Hello Irina,

It's surprising that 87 viewers have visited this lovely image, and not one before me has critiqued it. In a timeless land, there are clearly so many extraordinary sites to see, and I did not know about the Ayutthaya Historical Park. I might have just been able to see this place, both beautiful and sad. Last summer I was suppose to attend a meeting in Bangkok, and had set a couple days aside to explore within an hour's distance. Because of the unrest in the capitol, the meeting was switched to Phuket. The latter, turned out to be 'a suburb of paradise.'

Warm regards,

Bulent
