Ayutthaya Historical Park

The park spans over 200 hectares, featuring ancient temples, monasteries, reliquary towers, and architectural remnants from the former Siamese capital.

The Kingdom of Siam established Ayutthaya as its capital in 1350, leading it to become one of the world's largest urban centers until Burmese forces destroyed it in 1767.

Temple complexes within the park display architectural elements combining Thai, Khmer, and Persian influences, reflecting the diverse cultural exchanges of the period.

Visitors can explore the extensive ruins by bicycle, tuk-tuk, or boat, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.

The Buddha head at Wat Mahathat has become intertwined within tree roots over centuries, creating a natural fusion of architecture and nature.
