Heading north from Bangkok

Finally headed north from Bangkok. Bangkok would seem to be one of the least bike friendly cities that we have seen in the world. Heavy traffic, lots of 2 stroke exhaust, and absolutely no bike accommodations anywhere. So we decided to check in to taking the train north about 50 miles to our first stop in Ayuthaya. The 3 mile ride to the train station was a bit exciting but OK. Then train Tickets for us for the 90 ride were $0.50 each. The bike accommodation and charges were much less clear, but after several discussions we were on our way with bikes with us in the car for $3 per bike. Stuff is really inexpensive here. We rode around Ayuthaya a bit and found a nice guest house. The room, with free dinner, hot water, A/C, and wifi came to less than $14. Sweet. We explored several of the ruins in the center of town, many were really nice. This was once the capital before the Burmese ransacked the place. Tomorrow we head north for our first full day on the bikes.
