As an old capital, Ayutthaya is rich in history – it has plenty to tell, from the reminiscent trace at places like markets, temples, and remains. The first stop is at Wat Niwet Thammaprawat, a living display of Western-influenced Thai temple from 200 years ago. Then, move on to Bang Pa-In Palace, a summer palace in mixed architectural styles, varying from Thai to Chinese-influenced and European-influenced. After getting satisfied with tasty local lunch during midday, it’s time for a shopping spree at Ayothaya Floating Market where you can bring souvenirs home. Finally, be ready to behold what remains of the great war during the reign of Ayutthaya Kingdom at Wat Phra Sri Sanphet.
