Thailand 🇹🇭, Ayutthaya city

Ayutthaya (Phuthia) - the former capital of Siam (1350-1767) - today perhaps the most impressive ruins on the Asian continent - is located in the wide fertile Chauphrai valley, in its bend.

Some temples were built in the Khmer style, many, although in ruins, are still majestic. There are many images of the Buddha here, including the image in the temple of Wat Pha Meru from Sri Lanka - they say this statue is 1300 years old. For Thais, this is a sacred place, here they dress Buddha figures in yellow robes, scatter flower petals and burn incense.
