Ayutthaya Historical Park preserves the ruins of the former capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, which flourished from the 14th to 18th centuries. Visitors can wander through vast grounds filled with crumbling prangs, monastic buildings, and towering Buddha images. The park's layout gives a sense of the city's original grandeur, with many temples accessible by bicycle or on foot. Key structures like Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Mahathat are within the park, making it easy to explore multiple sites in one visit.
Don't miss
- Cycle through the park's expansive grounds to see ruins spread across the island city.
- Photograph the iconic three chedis of Wat Phra Si Sanphet at sunset.
- Visit the Buddha head entwined in tree roots at Wat Mahathat.
