Ayutthaya Historical Park

Ayutthaya Train Station is located to the West side of the Pa Sak and is 4.4 km walking distance from Ayutthaya Historical Park. The best way to travel from the train station in Ayutthaya to the historical park or other locations in Ayutthaya is to take a tuk-tuk.

There are always plenty of tuk-tuks parked in front of Ayutthaya Train Station. Expect to pay around 100 THB for a ride in a tuk-tuk from the train station to the historical park and most other destinations in the old city centre. Be sure to agree the fare in advance as there is no such thing as a fixed price for travel by tuk-tuk in Thailand and some less honest tuk-tuk drivers have been known to try to overcharge foreign visitors to the City.

Ayutthaya Historical Park consists of a collection of sites grouped around a municipal park. At the beginning of the 1700s Ayutthaya was thought to have been one of the largest and most important cities in the world and the number of temples reflected this. Unfortunately, since that time Ayutthaya has suffered from an invasion by a Burmese Army who destroyed many of the buildings and from neglect. There are still, however, several sites well worth visiting. In particular:

• Wat Maha Tat: A temple famous for the heads which cut off the statues by the Burmese invaders. If you have seen pictures of Ayutthaya you will doubtlessly have seen one of a Buddha head deep inside the roots of a bodhi tree, this is located at Wat Maha Tat.
• Wat Phra Ram:  The remarkable thing about this temple is the large central Prang (tower) which remain largely intact. There are very few Prang of this age which are still standing in Thailand.
• Wat Phra Si Samphet: This temple has three magnificent Prang standing a row, with smaller Prang clustered around the three main Prang in geometric patterns. Wat Phra Si Samphet is in the best condition of the ancient temples in Ayutthaya Historical Park and the one which receives the most visitors.
