THAILAND - Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya was once a great kingdom that extended right across Northern Thailand and encompassed the whole of the land of the million elephants, which today covers Laos and part of Cambodia, Myanmar and Malaysia.

The Ayutthaya historical park covers the ruins of the old city of Ayutthaya. This city was founded in 1350 and was the capital of the country until its destruction by the Burmese army in 1767

Ayutthaya is an easy excursion from Bangkok.
