- General data:
- We started off at Tony's Place at around 0820 Hr. We drove over the Sena Bridge and went direction of Bang Ban and Pak Hai, crossing the Bang Ban and Bang Luang Canals as well as the Noi River. Arrived in Phak Hai we turned to Ban Lat Chado were we arrived at 1000 Hr. We brought a visit to the market area, where strange enough we found hardly any visitors. Most of the shops were closed and there was even no possibility to take refreshment. Leaving the market we found a store and we took a break to adjust our fluid levels. From there we brought a short visit to the Ban Lat Chado primary school with its famous balcony and left the area to return to Ayutthaya shortly before 1100 Hr. We passed Wat Pa Mok and a bit further we took again a break to fill up our water bottles. We continued to Wat Bot (stretching the legs here) and crossed the Bang Ban Canal again. We biked until Wat Khanon and hoped to buy an ice-cream in one of the local shops, but unfortunately there was none available. We fueled up instead and continued over the Phukhao Thong Fields towards Ayutthaya, where we arrived at 1330 Hr. It was a tough ride …
