Ayutthaya Historical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Ayutthaya, central Thailand. It was the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom from 1351 to 1767 and was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in Southeast Asia at the time. The city was sacked by the Burmese in 1767, but its ruins and monuments remain as a testament to its rich history and culture.

The Ayutthaya Historical Park covers the ruins of the ancient city and includes several important temples, such as Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Ratchaburana, and Wat Mahathat. The structures are made of brick and stone and are adorned with intricate carvings, sculptures, and Buddha images.

In addition to the temples, visitors can also see the remains of palaces, monasteries, and other structures that once made up the city. The park provides a fascinating glimpse into the culture and history of ancient Thailand and is a must-visit for anyone interested in Southeast Asian history and architecture.

Visitors to the park can take guided tours or explore on their own. There are also several museums and cultural centers in the area that provide additional information about the history and significance of Ayutthaya. The park is easily accessible from Bangkok by car, boat, or train and is a popular day trip destination for tourists visiting Thailand.
