Whether in Thailand travel you see ruins or not, Ayutthaya is not to be missed which is home to the impressive history heritages.

Ayutthaya is now an archaeological ruin, characterized by the remains of tall prang (reliquary towers) and Buddhist monasteries of monumental proportions. Ruins of temples and palaces scatter around it to evidence its legendary past. What’s more, a refreshed city has sprung up around the holy ruins. Life revolves around the river. Modernization has become normal all over this historic city. From the past to the present, the twists and turns of long history witness Ayutthaya's development.

Ayutthaya is also an island at the confluence of three rivers: Chao Phraya River, Lopburi River and Pa Sak River. As the train station is at the east side off the island, most visitors will need to cross the river by ferry boat. Most temple ruins can be found at the northwest of the island, while accommodation and night life is clustered around the northeast. As non-Siamese peoples were not allowed to live inside the city walls, things foreign are found off the island.
