A full-day tour to the ancient city of Ayutthaya, The Thai capital for 417 years, is one of Thailand’s major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbors. During the period of Ayutthaya being the Thai capital, 33 kings of different dynasties ruled the kingdom until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767. The area, well conserved as a historical park, has been included in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage since 13 December 1991.

Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand apparently, but it is still a vibrant little city today. The ancient temples and the modern city are mixed together. We picked about 5 temples we most wanted to see --- Wat Mahathat, Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Phra Ram, and Wat Chai Watthanaram. Seeing these gave us the Buddah head embedded in the trunk of a growing tree and the giant reclining buddah--plus lots of other beautiful things. It is free to go to Ayutthaya---a couple of the temples had a tiny entry fee, but for the most part you just wander around as you want to.
Ayutthaya is about a one hour drive from Bangkok, but it is absolutely worth the time to get there! If we had not gone I would still be kicking myself. We could have hired a grab for the day, but this time we decided to ask our hotel to get us a driver. He spoke good English and showed us a few extra temples he really likes---I think paying him was a good call.
So for us, Ayutthaya came in thethird and final week of our trip. We spent the previous week in Cambodia exploring many breathtaking temples. The big difference with Ayutthaya's temples is that they were much closer together, and because town is basically laid down all around them, you didn't have the long walk to reach them as you often had in Cambodia. After three weeks of climbing, walking, etc. I was perfectly happy to be able to step out of the car and walk 30 feet to a temple.
The temples are absolutely beautiful! Really spectacular. I'm so glad we got to see them!
