Ayutthaya

Once the great capital of the Kingdom of Siam, Ayutthaya is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated at the confluence of three rivers north of Bangkok. The Ayutthaya Historical Park preserves the remnants of this once-thriving city, including magnificent crumbling stone temple spires and sun-worn Buddha statues. These structures, along with the ruins of three palaces, 400 temples, houses, and markets, offer a glimpse into the grandeur of the city-state’s heyday. Visitors today can explore these historic sites, walking among the weathered stones and intricate carvings that tell the story of a bygone era.
