Ancient City and then the Crocodile Farm

On Saturday November 13, the UNW students and Santisuk English School (SES) students boarded onto a double decker bus and spent the day at the Ancient City and Crocodile Farm (a zoo with Elephants and other animals).   The Ancient Siam city preserves the true Siamese heritage.   At this amazing cultural center we all rented bikes so we could easily visit the 80 acres Ancient City.  We visited some of the buildings with amazing gold wall and ceiling architecture and wall paintings that depicted the Thai culture.  Later we found a local restaurant to eat our meal, and finished the afternoon by biking around to more sights before leaving for the Crocodile Farm.  The Crocodile Farm was actually a zoo with all kinds for animals.
