Long ago, the city of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was a global center of economics and commerce. Within a few centuries of being founded, the city grew to having a population of one million inhabitants, who lived among sophisticated infrastructure, architecturally advanced buildings, and hundreds of magnificent temples. Ultimately, the city of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya succumbed to an attack by the Burmese, never to be rebuilt. All of the city’s inhabitants fled, never to return. Today, the ruins of the city are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the Ayutthaya Historical Park, where visitors can come and view the partially restored Buddhist temples. This amazing site represents an historical Siamese capital that housed 35 kings over several centuries
