Ayutthaya City is the capital of Ayutthaya province in Thailand. The city was founded in 1350 by King U Thong, who went there to escape a smallpox outbreak in Lop Buri and proclaimed it the capital of his kingdom, often referred to as the Ayutthaya kingdom or Siam. It is estimated that Ayutthaya by the year 1600 CE had a population of about 300,000, with the population perhaps reaching 1,000,000 around 1700 CE, making it one of the world’s largest cities at that time. In 1767 the city was destroyed by the Burmese army, resulting in the collapse of the kingdom. The ruins of the old city now from the Ayutthaya historical park, which is recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkon Temple is one of the biggest temple in Ayutthaya.
There have magnificent stupa and rows of Buddha statues.
In the pagoda, you can give gold leaf to decorate Buddha statues.

This pristine resort spans over 400 miles but has only 130
guest areas, so also at maximum occupancy the home never ever seems overcrowded.
