Ayutthaya
Central Thailand · World Heritage
The former capital occupies a river-bounded landscape of temple towers, monastic compounds, and palace remains. An early start, bicycle, boat, or local driver helps turn scattered ruins into a coherent city.
Look for
- Wat Mahathat and Wat Ratchaburana
- Wat Phra Si Sanphet and the former royal precinct
- Wat Chaiwatthanaram beside the river
