Ayutthaya was founded in 1350 and became Siam's capital until 1767 when it was sacked, leaving the ruins that define the archaeological park today.
Conservation
Temple complexes are fragile; avoid climbing on ruins, follow designated paths, and support small local vendors to contribute to the area's sustainable tourism economy.

Dress respectfully at temples
Bring a lightweight shawl or shirt that covers shoulders and knees; some sites enforce modest dress for entry.
Hydrate before the ATV
Drink water before and after the ride; the ATV loop can kick up dust and heat quickly, especially in the dry season.
Secure valuables on the tuk tuk
Tuk tuks are open; keep cameras and phones on straps or in a small daypack during transfers and market walks.
Time it for cooler light
Start early to enjoy softer light for photography at Wat Mahathat and less heat during outdoor market browsing.
