<br />
Ayutthaya - this is the story of a kingdom, that existed from 1350 until 1767, and whose name means “undefeatable” in Sanskrit. It counted 33 kings of five dynasties - until a Burmese army destroyed most of the treasures in 1767.<br />
<br />
The city was founded 1350 by the later King <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uthong">Ramathibodi I สมเด็จพระรามาธิบดีที่ 1</a> (also named U-Thong) at the confluence of three rivers: Chao Phraya, Lopburi and Pasak. The kings of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayutthaya_Kingdom">Ayutthaya</a> extended their power in the fourteenth and fifteenths centuries, conqueering former Khmer strongholds until they sacked their capital <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor">Angkor</a> in 1431. During this process Khmer customs and architecture were assimilated into the style of Ayutthaya. The city developped into a bustling metropolis of international reputation. First Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Japanese and Persian visitors arrived. In the early sixteenth century Ayutthaya was discovered by European visitors, who had started circumnavigating the world. First came the Portuguese (1511), then the Dutch (1605), the English (1612), the Danes (1621) and the French (1662). Most visitors were merchants, some also engineers and military advisers. Ayutthaya became a hub for trade and the population in its best days was over a million - more than that of London at the same time. And the visitors brought home stories about palaces of gold, elegant teak homes and enormous wealth in the kingdom of Siam.<br />
<br />
But Ayutthaya's ever threatening enemy was the army of Burma, which over the centuries tried many attacks, until it managed to occupy the Siamese capital in 1549 and finally sacked and burned Ayutthaya in 1767. The Grand Palace with its golden halls and pavilions was destroyed, many temples were burned, the great standing Buddha of Phra Si Sanphet was melted down. The Burmese carried away its more than 170 kilos of gold.<br />
<br />
Only few Ubosots and Viharns (temples) survived the Burmese attack in 1767. One of those is Wat Na Phra Men. The other remains of the former glory are ruins, today known as Ayutthaya Historical Park, listed as a Unesco World Heritage site. Some temples are floodlit at night: Wat Phraram, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Mahathat and Wat Chaiwattanaram (the most fantastic look in the night).<br />

The history of Ayutthaya knows three main periods: The Early Ayutthaya Period, the Middle Period and the Late Ayutthaya Period. During the first period, the Prang (a tower adapted from Khmer architecture) was the most prominent structure within the temple compound. During the middle period, the chedi (or stupa), often in Sri Lankan (rounded) style became the most visible monument. During the later Ayutthaya period, the Ubosoth or Coronation Hall, where the Buddha images were housed, became larger and larger and the prangs and chedis were less prominent. <a href="http://www.thaiwebsites.com/ayutthayapages.asp">thaiwebsites.com</a> notes: "Please bear in mind, that quite a few of the older temples have been restored. Therefore elements of newer architecture may be seen in the older temple compounds".<br />
<br />
Even if Ayutthayas splendour has vanished, it's legacy remained: After the Burmese sacking King Taksin regrouped the Thai army and finally could expel the Burmese. He founded the new capital in Thonburi, some 70 kilometres down the Chao Phraya River. And today visitors of Bangkok see here the replicas of the old monuments in Ayutthaya: The Grand Palace, Wat Arun and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha are copies of the old Grand Palace, Wat Chaiwattanaram and Wat Phra Si Sanphet.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wat Mahathat วัดมหาธาตุ พระนครศรีอยุธยา</span>: This temple is supposed to have been constructed from 1374 onwards by King Borom Rachathirat I and got its current name during the reign of King Ramesuan (1388-1395). Today you discover a mass of bricks instead of the central tower (prang). According to <a href="http://www.orientalarchitecture.com/thailand/ayutthaya/wat-mahathat.php">orientalarchitecture.com</a> it first collapsed during the reign of King Song Tham (1610-1628), was repaired during the reign of King Prasat Thong (1629-1656). It resisted during the Burmese invasion of 1767. But in the 20th century it collapsed 1911 during the reign of King Rama VI. "The prang was an important monument in Khmer and Ayutthaya architecture", you learn through <a href="http://www.thaiwebsites.com/prang.asp">thaiwebsites.com</a>. Prangs represent Mount Meru. In Thailand Buddha relics were often housed inside, while prangs built by Khmer housed Hindu deities. Ayutthaya prangs were mostly built with bricks, then covered with stucco.

<b>Wat Phutthai Sawan วัดพุทไธศวรรย์:</b> The "Monastery of of Lord Buddha of the Heavens". At Chao Phraya River, opposite the old town of Ayutthaya. With a prang as domination structure. It is non clear, who was the founder of this temple. Was it Phra Chao U Thong, the later King Ramathibodi, who let it construct by enslaved Khmer people forcibly removed from Angkor to Ayutthaya at that time? Or was it King Naresuan (1590–1605) or was it King Songtham (1611–1628)? Different historians have different ideas. Professor Krairiksh discovered the temple on a city plan from 1687. Nicolas Gervaise, who lived in Ayutthaya from 1683 till 1687 noted, that the monastery was built to honour the queen, who had died. From this it can be deducted, that König Narai let build it. In 1868 - druing the reign of King Rama V - the prang was renovated. The prang is surrounded by a square cloister, the inner walls are housing rows of Buddha images on decorated bases. The Ubosot contains three large Buddha images, the main one being Luang Pho Dam. Read more <a href="http://www.ayutthaya-history.com/Temples_Ruins_Phutthaisawan.html">here</a>.

<b>Wat Yai Chai Mongkol วัดใหญ่ชัยมงคล (also Mongkon):</b> Lies at the banks of Pa Sak River. King Ramathibodi I. ordered to build the temple in 1357. Thai historian Damrong Rajanubhab thinks, that King Naresuan in 1592 let erect the 80 meters tall chedi to remember his successful fight with the prince of Birma. But according to historian Piriya Krairiksh the chedi was constructed by King Narai betwen 1665 and 1666. In Viharn Phra Buddha Saiyas you find a lying Buddha image.<br />

<br />
<b>Wat Nang Pluem วัดแม่นางปลื้ม:</b> Near the confluence of Khlong Hua Ro, Khlong Mueang and the junction canal of the old eastern city moat, all being the river bed of old Lopburi River in the Ayutthaya era. Wat Nam Pluem monastery has been existing since 1377. The temple bears the name of a certain Lady Plum, an old woman being visited by King Naresuan during one night, following a local legend (read the <a href="http://www.ayutthaya-history.com/Temples_Ruins_MaeNangPlum.html">story</a>). In the ordination hall a white Buddha image called Phra Phor Khao can be seen. The chedi of the monastery is surrounded with decorative stucco lions, which - with exception of Wat Thammikarat - nowhere else can be seen in Ayutthaya. The Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya indicate that King Borommaracha II (1424-1448) brought images of lions and other creatures from Angkor.

<b>Wat Phanan Choeng วัดพนัญเชิงวรวิหาร:</b> At the south-eastern side of the confluence of the Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers, built in 1324. At this time there was an old station for ship commerce, named Bang Ka-cha (บางกะจะ)), where Chinese junks docked. The large wihan houses a gilded 19 meter high seated Buddha in subduing mara posure from 1334, made of brick and mortar and covered with stucco and called Luang Pho Tho (หลวงพ่อโต) by Thais and Sam Pao Kong (ซำเปากง) by Thai-Chinese. This is one of the biggest old buddha statues in Thailand and regarded as a guardian for mariners and for bringing good look and progress to businesses. It is said that prior to the destruction of Ayutthaya by the Burmese in 1767 tears flowed from the sacred eyes to the sacred navel. The statue has been restored several times in history, unter king Naresuan (1590–1605), under König Mongkut (Rama IV, 1851–1868) and in 1929.<br />
According to legend the temple has been founded by King Sai Namphoeng (พระเจ้าสายน้ำผึ้ง) on the site, where the Chinese princess Soi Dok Mak (พระนางสร้อยดอกหมาก) has been burnt after she had died. She came to Ayutthaya to marry King Sai Namphoeng. When he refused, she strangled herself. A shrine was built to remember her. At the east entrance you find a statue of Kuan Yin.<br />

<span style="color: #3366ff; font-size: 130%;">Late Ayutthaya period</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wat Chai Wattanaram วัดไชยวัฒนาราม</span>: Standing right on the river, Wat Chai Wattanaram was built in 1629 by King Prasat Tong. The prang sits on an elevated terrace in the middle of a courtyard. "Chapels at each of the four corners of the courtyard and at the mid-points of each side are topped by smaller prangs", notes <a href="http://thailandforvisitors.com/central/ayuthaya/sri-ayutthaya/wat-chai-wattanaram.php">thailandforvisitors</a>. Along the inner wall of the courtyard you find lines of Buddha images. In some of the corner chapels you can still see signs of fire at the coffered ceiling. The main prayer hall (wiharn) was on a terrace the same height as the terrace supporting the prang. Today only its base and a couple of Buddha images are left. The temple is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wat Na Phra Men วัดหน้าพระเมรุราชิการาม</span>: Also:<br />
Wat Na Phra Meru Rachikaram. This means: “The temple in front of the royal pyre.” Royal prisoners (after being executed) were cremated here. Wat Na Phra Men has been built in 1503. "The ubosoth, though restored during the reign of King Rama III, gives a good impression of how Ayutthaya temples and ubosoths of the late Ayutthaya period must have looked like", notes thaiwebsites.com. The principal Buddha image is seated in the 'subduing Mara' pose.

Ayatthuya has many options for dining. Of course you find a lot of opportunities along Naresuan Road, the backpacker road.

<a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/investigation/270258/ayutthaya-forgotten-temples-damned-by-deluge">Ayutthaya's 'forgotten' temples</a>: Lesser-known historic sites in the ancient capital were severely damaged by the floods and now that reconstruction has begun they may be forever abandoned in favour of more prominent spots. Ken May has lived in Ayutthaya for seven years. He has published several tourism-related books and nearly 50 articles about education. He is currently researching Muslim and Chinese historic sites in Ayutthaya. He also has created <a href="http://www.ayutthaya-history.com/">www.ayutthaya-history.com</a>.

12.00 am <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/268056/still-standing-but-for-how-long">Ayutthaya's historical sites have withstood centuries of flooding, but the latest deluge may have delivered a fatal blow to some of the ancient capital's World Heritage-protected sites.</a> Fine Arts Department civil engineer Therdsak Yenjura says the structures have brick bases resting on soil without proper foundations. When the soil is soaked, the walls of the structures subside and lean in on each other. Uneven weight distribution of the structures increases pressure points. Subsidence and weakening of the structures can be eased if the floodwater surrounding a historical structure is let out slowly, but this year over-eager local officials pumped the water out too quickly. Archaeologists need to conduct further inspections to determine how many of about 130 flooded ancient sites in Ayutthaya have been seriously affected. As a precautionary measure, authorities have decided not to quickly drain two-metre-deep floodwater surrounding <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wat Chaiwattanaram</span>, a major tourist attraction, for fear it could cause further damage.

6.11 pm <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/politics/261789/residents-stop-new-flood-barrier">Angry Residents block new flood barrier</a>: Hundreds of unhappy residents of a flood-hit community prevented irrigation officials from blocking the natural flow of water in a major canal in Ayutthaya on Monday, saying they had already suffered enough to save Bangkok from flooding. This happened at a bridge across Khlong Khaomao at kilometre marker 14 on the Asia Highway in Uthai district. Workers instructed by irrigation officials were driving sheet piling into the canal beneath the bridge there to block the natural flow of the waterway in a bid to save downstream areas from flooding. Later t was agreed sheet piling would not be installed in the canal at this time. However, work could resume if the water level in the canal recedes by 20 centimetres. (Bangkok Post)<br />

The city island is surrounded by three rivers and is home to the Ayutthaya Historical Park and the main business district. Residents have already been advised to leave the island and make their way to an evacuation site. A flood embankment collapsed under the weight of the water. With this the flood reached an industrial estate. Honda was the first inundated plant. The Asian Highway remained closed in parts around the ancient city of Ayutthaya. Motorists were advised to detour via Taling Chan – Suphan Buri or Phahon Yothin road.

Something like Versailles in Thailand: Bang Pa-In Palace, also known as Summer Palace, has neem built by King Prasat Thong in 1632. It was abandoned, when the Burmese army sacked Ayutthaya in 1767. In the 1850s King Mongkut (Rama IV) restored a part of the site. But what you see today is the work of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).

The market is set around a lotus pond, so it's not really a floating market. The boats of the marketwomen float around the lake.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Lat Chado Weekend Market ตลาดลาดชะโด</span>: A century-old canal-side market in Phak Hai district with well preserved wooden shophouses on both sides of a U-shaped walking line. Most vendors are elderly residents with talent for cooking and creating handmade products, so you discover handmade pillows and cotton bags as well as Thai desserts and traditional dishes such as thong yod, foi thong, tod man, hor mok and mee krob. A shophouse has been turned into a cinema hall. Old Thai movies that were filmed in Lat Chado are shown. A museum documents the history of the community and shows tools of farmers or species of fish found in the canal such as chado, which belongs to the same family as the snakehead fish. Karnjana Karnjanatawe tells the story of this market in <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/arts-and-culture/music/17884/">Bangkok Post</a> and also in this article by <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/print/188394/">Patsinee Kranlert</a>. The market was rated among the best preserved wooden buildings by the Association of Siamese Architects. Nearby Wat Dusit Ratchamatcha, also called Wat Lat Chado, with the Buddha image of Luang Phor Toh dates back over 200 years.<br />
