Thailand


Best time to be there

November to March. April is often the hottest month of the year, and also the month of the celebratory 'Songkran' festivals. May to October is the rainy season, with short bursts of rainstorms refreshing the green paddy fields once more.

Ayutthaya

Enjoy a river cruise down the Chao Phraya to Ayutthaya, ancient Thailand's capital. Founded in 1350, it remained the Thai capital for over 400 years and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The surviving ruins of Ayutthaya are testament to the former glory of what was once the most magnificent city in the Orient. Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand from 1350-1767 until the city was sacked and looted by Burmese invaders in the 18th century. During its 417 year history, it was the capital for 33 kings of five dynasties. Today the ancient monuments are scattered around a busy and provincial city.
