Sunlight hits cracked bricks and the roots of an ancient banyan like a clock, marking moments in a city that once ruled the rivers. The half-day Three Temple Ayutthaya Tour opens in that light: a tuk‑tuk ride to Wat Mahathat where the famous Buddha head is braided into banyan roots, then on to the park-like grounds of Wat Phra Ram and the soaring prang of Wat Ratchaburana.

Ayutthaya was Siam’s capital from the 14th to the 18th century; its rapid fall in 1767 left many structures in ruin, preserving a landscape of exposed prangs and chedis.
Conservation
