The ancient Siamese capital of Ayutthaya is pleasant town to spend a few days enjoying the ruins and canals and learning a bit of history. When Bangkok was a swampy backwater, Ayutthaya was a powerful military and economic city which dominated central Thailand for 400 years. The best way to visit the complex is by bike. Check out the elephant taxi stand and watch out for elephant taxis in park. The ruins are magical to see at night by foot when the stupas and pagodas are floodlit.
