Ayutthaya
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.

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.

Guest Testimonial
We appreciated knowing the travel specialist (Katie Sims) from the previous A&K holiday. The hotels in Grenada and Cordoba were excellent.
The Renfe trains from Grenada to Malaga were very impressive. On time, comfortable and fast.
