Historic City of Ayutthaya

2 hours Admission included

One of the most impressive places in Thailand that most visitors want to explore is The Historic City of Ayutthaya. It is known as the second capital of the Siamese Kingdom. It flourished in over 400 years from the 14th to the 18th centuries. During that time, it grew to be one of the world’s most cosmopolitan and largest urban areas and a center of global commerce and diplomacy. Ayutthaya was situated on an island covered by three rivers which linked the city to the sea. This site was chosen as it was situated above the Gulf of Siam’s tidal bore because it existed at that time. Therefore, it helped to prevent the attack of the city by the sea - going warships of other nations.
