How to visit Thailand without going through Ayutthaya, former historical capital of the Kingdom of Siam? The city was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong (Ramathibodi I) and became the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it was one of the largest cities in the world, with nearly a million inhabitants. Destroyed in 1767 by the Burmese army, it lost its role in favor of the new capital, Bangkok, and is today mainly known for the ruins of its temples in a historic park listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
