Ayutthaya is the former capital of Siam and was once one of the world’s most important cities. It was nearly destroyed by a Burmese attack in 1767, but we are fortunate that enough temple ruins remain to give us a feel for what this incredible city was like in its prime.
We spent 3 days in Aytutthaya with our two kids, aged 3 & 5, during our family trip to Thailand in December. We were a little worried about the temples being too boring for them, but they never complained once.
