🎬Itinerary recommendation
Ayutthaya is very close to Bangkok, many people choose a day trip, which may not be able to truly appreciate the beauty and tranquility of Ayutthaya, let alone its profound history. It is recommended that Ayutthaya at least two days, although these ancient ruins are somewhat similar, but carefully taste, you will find that each site has its own charm, of course, there are Ayutthaya's food...

lebua at State Tower - An Amazing Hotel in Bangkok
I was upgraded to a 176㎡ two-bedroom suite, which truly felt like home. It featured three balconies and a panoramic window, offering stunning views both day and night.
The executive lounge was accessible all day, and the restaurant, pool, and gym were excellent. I also enjoyed a day trip to Ayutthaya with a private car, witnessing a full moon and breathtaking ruins at sunset. Despite it being the rainy season, there was no rain, making everything perfect. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Day Trip to Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Thailand | Memories of Ayutthaya.
|Memories of Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-visit if you have enough time. It's a fallen ancient capital that's worth exploring.
In 1767, the Burmese army captured Ayutthaya. The original royal city site is now Ayutthaya Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The capital of the Ayutthaya era was very developed in terms of culture, art, and international trade. Unfortunately, the ancient city was completely destroyed by the invading Burmese army. Everything in the city was burned down. The Burmese army even thought that there were gold, silver, and jewels hidden in the Buddha statues, so they chopped off all the Buddha statues. As you wander around Ayutthaya, you can see the relics of Buddha statues or temples everywhere. Next to the lush branches, the broken Buddha's hand is placed on the ground, giving a sense of historical ruin and sorrow.
The temple buildings in Ayutthaya are mostly in ruins. Everywhere you look, there are different ruins. However, the state of life of the people here will make you feel that a city that is almost "dead" is still "alive" and you will feel the strong spiritual power here.

Ban Khao Nom, Ayutthaya
Hello! Today, I'm going to review a Thai dessert shop in Ayutthaya.
This is another shop that I always visit whenever I go to Ayutthaya. It's a Thai dessert cafe that modernizes traditional Thai desserts with attractive packaging. They offer a variety of Thai desserts, including stuffed desserts, sticky rice desserts, Thong Yip, Thong Yod, and Med Kanun. The prices are reasonable, and the packaging makes the desserts more appealing. The taste of the desserts here is good, not too sweet. Personally, I find some flavors to be average, but it depends on individual preferences.
Parking: 🌿 You can park in front of the shop on the sidewalk.

Ayutthaya comes back to fever again. This time, I stopped by to find a chic cafe on the bank of Chao Phraya river. I like the color tone of the shop, the covered trees and the cool breeze. The drinks and snacks here are delicious. Inside, there are two-decker seats with air conditioning. But there were many people on the day, so I just kept the atmosphere outside the shop for you. If you come to visit Ayutthaya and look for a cute cafe with delicious snacks, don't forget to stop by.

Amazing historical
Ohhh I love this place so much. The name is Wat Ratcha Burana is a Buddhist temple (wat) in the Ayutthaya Historical Park, Ayutthaya, Thailand. The temple's main prang is one of the finest in the city. Located in the island section of Ayutthaya, Wat Ratchaburana is immediately north of Wat Mahathat.

Ayutthaya was once the most prosperous capital of the Thai dynasty. After being captured by Burma, it left many shocking ruins.
The war-torn buildings remind us of the war and keep us away from the war

The Pas Mountain Temple is a famous temple in the big city and has been hailed as Little Angkor Wat by UNESCO. Located in the ruins of the ancient palace of Dacheng, Pas Mountain Temple is the largest and most important temple in the Dacheng Dynasty.
There used to be a 16-meter-high standing Buddha with a surface covered with 250 kg of gold foil, which was later destroyed by the invading Burmese army. Three bell-shaped pagodas, which are tapered from the bottom to the top, are the hallmarks of the temple, each of which houses the remains of a king. Although the temple was destroyed and the Buddha was melted, it was still able to feel its momentum.
雙喜與子琛.
The beautiful ancient capital of the city sits quietly on the land of central Thailand, waiting for the history of the millennium. It is difficult to describe its great legend in any language;
any vocabulary is too boring in front of it. Only by walking into this building in person and listening to the long history, will you understand its beauty and remember its beauty.

Ayuttaya, Ayutthaya is a once glorious dynasty in the history of Thailand, known as the Ayutthaya Dynasty. It has been nearly 500 years old, but later the whole city was destroyed by the Burmese because of the war. The buildings and artworks of the great city were destroyed and became a ruin. This is the site of today's great city.
There are only more than 300 temples with broken walls left under the flame of war. The city has never been rebuilt in the same place and has been listed as a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO.
Compared to the splendour of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the monuments here have a different taste.
Min Hua Emily.
In Thailand, I saw the prosperity of Bangkok and came to Dacheng to feel that it was full of different beauty.
The Great Wall Dynasty, which was rich in enemies more than two hundred years ago, has ceased to exist. Instead, it is a piece of ruin.
Walking between large and small temples, you may think that you have entered Angkor because there are many Khmer towers.
The Temple of the Reclining Buddha was destroyed and only one reclining Buddha and the Khmer Tower behind it were left.
Min Hua Emily.
Park Ya Taka Karan Temple, the Buddha House B&B, will bring the most shocking trip to the world. Come to Puyatakalan, pass by many unique and exquisite Buddha statues, savor the Buddha's smile, carefully examine the worship of the believers, and have more fascination and respect for Buddhism. .
The most touching thing here is the huge standing Buddha statue, which is not only beautifully styled, magnificent, and the face is serene and shocking.

The beautiful Ayutthaya Historical Park sits quietly on the land of central Thailand, waiting for the history of the millennium. This is a great ancient city in the history of Thailand. In this small urban area, there are hundreds of different temples and ancient ruins, making it a shining pearl in central Thailand.
Walk in the Ayutthaya Historical Park, you can feel the rich historical and cultural atmosphere. However, this old-fashioned old town has not become rigid. In its way, it roots the Thai culture in the hearts of every visitor; with its enthusiasm, it welcomes visitors from all directions.
any language, it is difficult to describe the great legend of Ayutthaya Historical Park; any vocabulary seems to be too poor before these ancient miracles. Only walk into this ancient historical city in person, listen to the long and tumultuous historical story, and witness all the beautiful scenes here. Only by understanding its moving beauty will it remember its immortal legend.
Beautiful Ayutthaya Historical Park, with forests, rivers, beautiful surroundings and green surroundings. All kinds of exquisite pagodas are dotted with white, white or mottled, all of which are telling their own immortal legends.
Walking in the park, it is inevitable that people will feel refreshed, enjoy the green trees and safflower, and observe the White Tower Red Temple, which is a rare enjoyment. There is also a lotus pond dotted with it, which adds a lot of moving greenery to people.

Every heart is born alone and crippled,
most people spend the whole life with this kind of incompleteness,
only because they meet the other half that can make it perfect,
is not negligently missed,
is that you have lost the qualification to own it.
