Thailand-4

Hi, welcome once again to my blog, where I'll continue to describe my adventures in Bangkok.
Thursday I didn't do anything special, just stayed at home. Friday was similar, though I did go to a shopping center.
Saturday we went to the Ayutthaya Province (the family I'm with has another house there). The house was next to a river, where I sailed a bit around. We went to a place where I saw an elephant show and even took a ride on one, while appreciating the view of some old buildings.

We then visited Bang Pa-in Palace, which has a lot of buildings and structures with different styles.

Chinese-style mansion (Phra Thinang Wehart Chamrun)

Classical Roman-style statue

Me in front of a Buddhist temple (Niwer Thammaprawat Temple) that looks like an European Christian Church

Sunday night we went to a river in Bangkok where we celebrated the Loi Krathong festival, by placing floating decorations (Krathongs) with lit candles on the river, firing fireworks and releasing a sky lantern
 (basically a small hot air ballon).

Monday (today) I got back to not doing anything special and just staying at home (I'm getting lazy).
