Picture 8: Golden Mountain
In the third week we had a lot of free time compared to the last two weeks. We visited the Thai Airways Catering Department, learned how to make a traditional Thai dessert and made a trip to Ayutthaya, which was the former capital of Thailand. The city was founded in 1350 by King U Thong. Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai. In 1767, the city was destroyed by the Burmese army, resulting in the collapse of the kingdom. The ruins of the old city are preserved in the Ayutthaya historical park, which is recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins, characterized by the reliquary towers and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of the city's past splendor. Modern Ayutthaya was refounded a few kilometers to the east.
On our last day we had a farewell and certificate ceremony. We even presented the traditional Thai dance that we learned in one of the courses and sang a Thai song.
