About Travel to Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya is a fairly small city, with a population of just over 50,000 permanent residents, which has an very important place in Thai history.

History of Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya was the second capital city of Thailand after Sukhothai. Ayutthaya was established in 1351 by King U Thong who moved his royal court there from Lopburi following an outbreak of smallpox. Ayutthaya developed over time to have an estimated population of over 1 million people by the start of the 18th Century, which made it one of the largest cities in the world at the time. Ayutthaya’s meteoric rise as a thriving metropolis came to abrupt end in 1767 when an army from Burma invaded, and destroyed much of the city. Some of the inhabitants escaped, foremost amongst these were the future King Thaksin, who established a new capital in Thonburi, and the future King Rama I who established the current royal dynasty of Thailand and made Bangkok its capital.
