The ancient city of Ayutthaya, or Phra
Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, The Thai capital for 417 years, is one of Thailand’s
major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can
be seen in a 
city that was founded in 1350 by King U - Thong when the Thais were
forced southwards by northern neighbours. During the period of Ayutthaya
being the Thai capital, 33 kings of different dynasties ruled the
kingdom until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767.
Ayutthaya is 76 kilometres north of Bangkok and boasts numerous
magnificent ruins. Such ruins indicate that Ayutthaya was one of
Indo - China’s most prosperous cities. Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
Historical Park, a vast stretch of historical site in the heart
of Ayutthaya city, has been included in UNESCO’s list of world
heritage since 13 December, 1991.
