In strict, Ayutthaya is located on a small island, encircled by rivers in the central Thailand. Ayutthaya was the place where The kingndom of Siam existed from 1351 to 1767 and absorved the Kingdom of Sukothai. In 1765, Burmese armies invaded the territories of Ayutthaya destruying and burning the whole city and its art treasures. At present, the signs of this destruction are clear. Although the Burmese occupation lasted only some months, Ayutthaya could not recover. It was during this period that the budhism was a official religion in Thailand.

Rent a bicycle (50 Baths). Ticket for each place is 50 Baths but a ticket for all the places is costed 220 Baths. You can go early in the morning and go back at the end of the day.
