Well, we don’t come here so much for the ruins either, picturesque as they are. We came here for the food, because for us Ayutthaya is an overlooked Thai culinary gem.

    Between the two of us, one of the things we’ve talked about a lot over the last nine months has been the Auytthaya night market – a series of food stalls that offer an enormous range of foodstuffs; from scrumptious sticky rice desserts to deep fried pig snouts. In between the extremes, you can find just about any protein and carbohydrate on offer, and walking around these stalls is a feast for all senses. Once it became clear to us that we had to spend some time in Bangkok, it didn’t take much to tip the scales in favor of coming back here.
