Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
พระนครศรีอยุธยา
Ayutthaya was the glorious capital of the Siamese kingdom for 417 years before its destruction by the Burmese in 1767, and its UNESCO-listed ruins spread across an island formed by three converging rivers. The iconic Buddha head entwined in tree roots at Wat Mahathat and the towering prang of Wat Chai Watthanaram are among Southeast Asia's most photographed heritage sites. The province also hosts one of Thailand's largest industrial zones, particularly the Hi-Tech Industrial Estate and Rojana Industrial Park, creating a unique juxtaposition of ancient ruins and modern manufacturing.
