Ayutthaya Historical Park by Drone - Top 6 Temple Ruins - UNESCO World Heritage Site- Thailand 2024

Ayutthaya Historical Park

Ayutthaya Historical Park อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์พระนครศรีอยุธยา covers the ruins of the old city of Ayutthaya Thailand.

The city of Ayutthaya was founded by King Ramathibodi I in 1351, though it is likely to be significantly older, based on evidence showing that the area was already populated during the Mon Dvaravati period.

Sources further mention that around 850 AD, the Khmers occupied the area and established a stronghold there, naming it Ayodhya, after one of the holiest Hindu cities in India of the same name. The early history of Ayutthaya is connected to this Khmer settlement.

The city was captured by the Burmese in 1569. Though not pillaged, it lost "many valuable and artistic objects." It was the capital of the country until its destruction by the Burmese army in 1767.

In 1969, the Fine Arts Department of Thailand began renovations of the ruins, scaling up the project after the site was declared a historical park in 1976.

Part of the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991.

The group of 6 ruins that are part of the historical park are pay sites. There are several other smaller ruins thst are free to explore. The smaller sites are not as significant with a lower level of restorstion. The main sites are worth a visit and an amazing part of the regions history.
