Ayutthaya served as Siam’s capital from 1350 until its 1767 fall to Burmese forces; many surviving ruins are the remains of royal monasteries and city defenses.
Conservation
The ruins are fragile—stay on marked paths, avoid touching stucco where possible, and support local guides who help manage visitor impact.

Hydrate before you ride
Bring a refillable water bottle and drink frequently—temperatures can remain high through sunset; there are limited convenient refill points between sites.
Temple dress code
Carry a lightweight sarong or long-sleeve to cover shoulders and knees for temple entry—staff enforce modest dress, and you’ll avoid delays.
Expect flat, mixed surfaces
Paths are mostly paved or compacted dirt suited to city-style bikes—wide tires are better for comfort than racing slicks.
Mind traffic at crossings
Evening traffic can be busy; follow your guide’s instructions at road crossings and wear the provided helmet at all times.
