History
Ayutthaya served as a major southeast Asian capital from the 14th century until Burmese invasion in 1767 left much of the city in ruins, now conserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Conservation
The site faces erosion from seasonal flooding and visitor wear; staying on marked paths and avoiding touching masonry helps protect fragile structures.

Hydrate before you go
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water and sip frequently; temple grounds offer limited shade and Bangkok‑area heat can be intense.
Dress respectfully
Wear shoulders‑covering tops and knee‑length bottoms to enter temple buildings and avoid fines or denied entry.
Sun protection is non‑negotiable
Bring a wide‑brim hat and SPF 30+ sunscreen — many walkways offer little protection from midday sun.
Bring grippy, closed shoes
Temple steps and broken bricks are uneven; comfortable shoes with traction reduce slips and make climbs easier.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated through hot, sunny stretches between temple stops.
