Crikey, three monks in a row

 I can always tell when I’m really settling into travelling when I get my Olympus camera out and get into my travel photography. 

Exploring the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya is fascinating and a latest twist at one of the main ruins is that after it was used in a historical drama, it is now full of tourists dressing up in ancient costumes, having their pictures taken. There’s families, couples and friends all walking round as if it’s 500 years ago! 

There’s one very special place in Ayutthaya, in Wat Marahat, where a Buddha head is engulfed in tree roots. Everyone wants their picture taken there, and we waited patiently for a coach of South Koreans to all be snapped! After our portraits in front of the tree, three monks arrived and sat down to have their selfies taken and of course we couldn’t miss the opportunity to photography them. Not just one monk, but three in a row.
