76 kilometers north of Bangkok. Ayutthaya was the capital of the kingdom of the same name for 417 years, from 1350, when it was founded by King U-Thong, to 1767, when it was sacked by the invading Burmese. From this glorious past, the city has retained a prestige that makes it a must-see for those interested in historical remains. The latter have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991, making Ayutthaya a privileged tourist destination, albeit subject to the vagaries of monsoon weather. The old city is located on a small island surrounded by the Chao Phraya, Pa Sak and Lop Buri rivers.
