Ancient capital of Thailand, an hour and half north of Bangkok,five- six centuries old monuments and temples spread across a three square km Historic City, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site..one would feel he/she boarded a time machine and stepped into a bygone era..it is beautiful, it is aesthetic, it is history and it is a story of sweat and, often, blood !!

An absolutely stunning building In the middle of a small lake in the middle of the Palace grounds. Some call it a dressing room for coronation ceremonies and others a guest building or waiting area to to the king. Either way it's very pretty and a great back drop for great pictures.

We hired a Tuk Tuk, for a day, to visit all the ruins and sites off the island. You will need some mood of transport to visits this site, across the river. We reached here after visiting numerous other sites. There was an entrance fees of 20 Baht. The place was crowded as it is an active temple. The temple is located on the banks of a river. The main attraction is the Hugh Buddha. You can walk to the river bank and there are beautiful buildings of a Chinese temple adorned with dragons. We realised later, when we took the 2-hour evening boat cruise, that this site was the first stop in its itinerary.

We hired a Tuk Tuk, for a day, to visit all the ruins and sites off the island. You will need some mood of transport to visits this site, across the river. We reach this place after visiting Wat Na Phra Meru, Wat Choeng Tha and Wat Kasattrathirat Worawihan and Wat Chaiwatthanaram. It is about 3km from Wat Wat Chaiwatthanaram. The thing of interest at this temple, includes a white Khmer-style pagoda, Buddha images in a courtyard, and reclining Buddha sanctuary. There are some residential buildings too for senior monks here. If you walk all the way in, there are some interesting ruins behind. We spend about 2 hours in this place to tour the whole compound. Entry to this site was free. There are sign boards, illustrating its history and significance. The place was not crowded. Best to have your own transport as it may be difficult to get one here. This site is also on the 2 hour river boat cruise.

I always feel privileged to step back in time and walk the landscape of a historical site. Founded in 1351, these UNESCO protected historical city ruins were a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. In my opinion these ruins rival the Roman Forum in terms of historical significance and preservation, and are well worth a visit. The ruins at Ayutthaya are spread all around the modern settlement - you can be driving down the main road to the mall and pass ancient tombs. We paid to visit the Auytthaya Historical Park, which is an ancient walled temple and tomb area, as this was much better than trying to peer over the wall. Yes, it costs more if you are a foreigner, but as a guest in another country I’m happy to pay for the privilege. We had a car, but there are also bikes for rent and tuk tuk guides for hire. The Historical Park is adjacent to another park area where there are elephants available to ride. It’s sad to see other tourists still doing this. While it does provide some employment, I’m not convinced it’s actually good for the elephants. Go to Koh Chang and take them for a swim instead.
