Our cruise along the Chao Phraya River through the rural heartland of Thailand was on a rice barge built in the late 40’s and nowadays converted into a luxurious little floating hotel that provides a fantastic travel experience. The food was fabulous, the staff delightful and the shore excusions were simply amazing – and being able to observe daily life on the water and along the river banks was an unforgetable experience.

My visit to Ayutthaya - capital of the ancient kingdom of Thailand

We booked on thanatharee.com and set off to discover Ayutthaya the former capital of the ancient kingdom of Thailand as part of a rice barge river cruise that etc Travel arranged for us. Ayutthaya is absolutely amazing and a must see for anyone visiting Thailand - our guide was fantastic and we can thoroughly recommend etc Travel company who are based in Bangkok.

The Ayutthaya Historical Park comprises of the ruins of temples and palaces of the capital of the ancient Ayutthaya Kingdom. The park is located on an island surrounded by three rivers where the old capital used to be. The Ayutthaya Kingdom, which existed from 1351 until 1767 was one of the largest and most prosperous empires of its time. The ruins of many impressive temples and palaces give an impression of the wealth of the ancient Kingdom.

The remains of several settlements off the island built by foreign countries demonstrate the importance of Ayutthaya’s intensive trade with many foreign nations.

As most of Ayutthaya’s records were destroyed when the city was looted and burned by the invading Burmese in 1767, much knowledge about Ayutthaya’s history was gained from the accounts and maps of foreigners. Several museums including the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum on the Ayutthaya island exhibit a wealth of artifacts discovered during excavations. The Ayutthaya Historical Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991.
