Ayutthaya Historical Park
Located just north of Bangkok, Thailand, Ayutthaya Historical Park is a testament to the grandeur and glory of the ancient Ayutthaya Kingdom, which flourished from the 14th to the 18th century.
Ayutthaya Historical Park is a treasure trove of historical and cultural wonders, offering visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of Thailand. As you explore the park's ruins, you'll be transported back in time, marveling at the remnants of magnificent temples, palaces, and statues that once adorned this thriving capital city.
The park's iconic landmarks, such as Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, and Wat Ratchaburana, showcase the exquisite craftsmanship and architectural brilliance of the Ayutthaya era. Admire the intricate details of the Buddha statues, the towering prangs (spires), and the serene atmosphere that permeates these sacred sites.
Beyond the architectural wonders, Ayutthaya Historical Park also offers glimpses into the daily life of the Ayutthaya people. Explore the ancient markets, walk along the canals, and witness the remnants of the city's defensive fortifications, which once protected it from foreign invasions.
To truly appreciate the historical significance of Ayutthaya, consider hiring a knowledgeable guide who can provide insights into the stories and legends associated with each site. Alternatively, rent a bicycle and leisurely pedal your way through the park, allowing yourself to discover hidden gems and soak in the serene ambiance.

I rented a bicycle and went around. It was quite hot. I was able to go around efficiently because I got a map.
The classic scenic spots worth visiting are similar in architecture, but there are some differences. After arriving at Dacheng Mansion in the afternoon of local time and rushing off the train for check-in, a small motorcycle was rented to visit them. The first scenic spot was the tree holding Buddha's head, which had map navigation, and the location was very good to find. If you buy tickets alone, 50 baht is included in the joint ticket of six temples. Together with a total of 220 baht, I bought a joint ticket because I planned to visit all of them. A little further south of the temple where the Buddha's head is held in the tree. The landmark building is obvious. It's a good tower. You can see at a glance that there are classic Angkor Wat-style buildings in it. Many people are taking pictures and looking at the halo of the temple through the air at sunset. It feels wonderful, very retro-old, and it's suitable for dusk. Light is the best way to take a picture. Night lighting will illuminate the monuments, or very beautiful, the night can not go in but can look around in the distance.
