Ayutthaya

Photographic report in an iconic frame.

Ayutthaya is one of the ancient capitals of Thailand, or rather the kingdom of Siam. One of the most advanced cities for its time, it was devastated in an epic battle by Burmese troops, who took possession of the valuable city and razed all the temples, burning them, stealing large amounts of gold that decorated those temples and beheading all the Buddha statues, which in this city were very many.

Impossible not to be fascinated when we dive a little into its history. Ayutthaya is, without a doubt, one of the cities that you must visit if you ever travel to the land of smiles.
