We saw parts of the 'ancient cities' via the taxi/tuk-tuk,
boat, & horse cart, passing many small villages & compounds
of bamboo cottages, & some great trees, all interesting.
One pagoda aimed to be the tallest, but an earthquake,
or king's death intervened.. I forget which.
The teak monasteries were astonishing, carved all over,
inside too, except it was so dark, hard to see.
Whole forests of teak, but such a memorable use of it.
