Holiday to Ayutthaya - A Journey Through Thailand’s Glorious Past
A visit to Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is worth the trip from Bangkok for more than just a respite from the hectic city—it is a glimpse into Thailand’s historical past. Each one of Ayutthaya’s ruins was once a vibrant temple, place of worship, or a palace, essential for over four centuries to the Siamese Kingdom; that said, as the former capital of the Siamese kingdom, Ayutthaya was seen by the 18th century as one of the world’s most significant and cosmopolitan cities.

The peak time to visit Ayutthaya is between November and May, which is the dry season. With pleasant temperatures and sunny days, it’s a nice time for cycling and sightseeing. March to May can get hot; schedule alfresco activities during the morning or late afternoon. The wet season (June–October) means fewer tourists and a picturesque landscape with lush greenery; however, it also comes with a bit of muddiness and occasional showers.
