City of the rabid Dog!!

Ayuttaya is a beautiful place full of ruined Wat's and historical parks...But I tell you the rabid rabies infested Mutt rules this city!
The joy of the night bus hadn't rubbed off on me yet when we were accosted by a taxi driver at 3am in the morning, on the side of the freeway! I was ecstatic to be sitting next to the Thailand Snoring Champion on the bus, yet alone to be approached by the most exuberantly expensive taxi driver in the north as well...After much bartering and no budging from the taxi driver we decided it was really the only choice we had at such a early hour of the morning.
Well to my delight we were dropped, not were we wanted and asked to be, but a good kilometer away..This normally would be fine but for the fact that I have 20kgs strapped to my back, in the dark, and a million dogs surrounding us!!
Sebastian, Silver, Marnie and I decided that we should walk closer to the hostel area and try to find somewhere to sleep till the hostels open. We took our lives into our own hands! The Mutts here have a go at you at ever opportunity, gnashing their teeth and generally scaring the beejuesus out of you. Generally thing are fine and the territorial mongrels settle back to sleep and your free to walk onwards....We'll not for my poor mate Sebastian!
We finally arrived at a hostel that had some good benches to sleep on till opening hours. At sun rise Sebastian and I decided to check out our sleeping options and see if anyone was awake. I was glad I took the side road option and let Sebastian go the main road route. He entered guest house only to be chased down by the owners Mutt and bitten badly on the back of the calve....Needless to say by this stage I picked another guest house and was pretty happy with my choice...Sebastian and Co on the other hand had a lovely visit to the local hospital for an onslaught of injections...But he did get his accommodation for free!! Some people have all the luck!!
I hired a bicycle and peddled my way around the historical sights which involved a few kilometers and some fast peddling away from unhappy mutts, but it was a beautiful sight. I had the opportunity to go inside one of the Chedi's which still had paintings and murals in gold leaf on the walls deep inside the Chedi's center...I was a little panicky being inside skinny walkways deep inside all on my own but my fears were fruitless. There were no tourist robbing locals at the bottom and angry youths. Thank goodness.
In the evening I took a long boat up the river and stopped at a few more historical sights and waved frantically at the locals swimming in the river...Alongside the dead floating dog!!!! Yuck!!
All in all, Ayuttaya is a lovely place to visit but the anxiety walking the streets can out do the beauty of the sights.....Suhkothai still wins hands down!!!
