Ayutthaya: Walking Through the Ruins of a Lost Kingdom

Once the thriving capital of the Kingdom of Siam, Ayutthaya is now a hauntingly beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site just north of Bangkok. Wander through ancient temples and crumbling stupas, where tree roots embrace stone Buddhas and centuries of history whisper through the air. Highlights include Wat Mahathat with its famous Buddha head entwined in tree roots, the towering Wat Phra Si Sanphet, and the serene riverside setting of Wat Chaiwatthanaram. Whether you explore by foot, bicycle, or tuk-tuk, Ayutthaya offers a deep connection to Thailand’s rich heritage and spiritual soul.

Tips for Visitors:
- Take the train from Bangkok for a scenic and budget-friendly day trip (just 1.5-2 hours).
- Rent a bike to cover more ground and explore hidden corners of the ruins.
- Visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and get softer light for photos.
- Bring water, sunscreen, and respectful clothing—temples are active spiritual sites.
