Best temples in Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam from 1351 until the Burmese sacked it in 1767, and its temples are mostly brick ruins: prangs, chedis and rows of headless Buddhas inside the UNESCO historical park. Begin with the park itself, where Wat Mahathat has the stone Buddha head held in fig roots and Wat Phra Si Sanphet its three great chedis; add Wat Phra Ram across the pond and Wat Na Phra Men, which escaped the sack and keeps a crowned Buddha.

The ruins on the island are close enough to cycle between, and Wat Na Phra Men is just across the river to the north. Wat Phu Khao Thong, stands in fields to the north-west, Wat Tha Ka Rong is a busy working monastery on the western riverbank, and small Wat Nang Kui shows an Ayutthaya temple without crowds. Ayutthaya is a day trip from Bangkok; start by 8 am, because the open brick platforms are punishing by mid-morning.
