"Island City - Ayutthaya" Ayuthaya - Old City Tip by Cyncyn

Ayuthaya - Old City, Bangkok: 50 reviews and 112 photos

 
 

At the confluence of theh Lp Buri. Pasak and Chao Phraya rivers. Ayutthaya was created as an island city. It was surrounded by a 12km fortified wall and crisis-crossed by 140km network canals. At the 17 century height of its power it had an estimated population of one million, three major palace complexes and some 400 temples. Many of the buildings were lavishly decorated with gold. Protuguese, Dutch, French, British & Japanese trade factories made it truly cosmpolitan city. I like that ancient building ! Maybe next time I'll visit there at night , it will be more mysterious ! And I prefer to take a boat trip to travel ! It may be very romantic !!

Address: Ayuthaya
Directions: Take a train from Bangkok, the train goes frequently. It is about 90km from Bangkok.
