Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya

Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya is an administrative district in central Thailand situated on fertile ground where two major rivers converge. The area is filled with ancient structures, temples, and archaeological remains from the Ayutthaya Kingdom era.

This place was once Thailand's capital, founded in the 14th century as a powerful trading city. The site lost its prominence later due to shifts in political control of the region.

The district has many temples and ruins showing how the ancient kingdom was built and organized. Walking through, you see these sacred places woven into everyday life and shaping how people use the space today.

The district has good train connections to Bangkok and several river piers for water travel. These connections make it easy to explore different parts of the area and move around.

The district is divided into more than twenty smaller administrative subdivisions, each with its own local character. This division allows visitors to discover many different facets of the region within a compact area.
