Ayutthaya: Tourist Attraction

For over 417 years, the beautiful timeworn city of Ayutthaya has been one of Thailand's greatest destinations for tourists. Ayutthaya, Thailand's capital, was founded in 1350 by King U Thong, who either-based on two different accounts-established this southern city to avoid an epidemic sweeping the north, or simply wanted to head south to establish his new kingdom. Whatever the real reason was, history tells us that Ayutthaya became a metropolis.

Prominence

Foreign traders would come from all over the East-Japan, China, Vietnam, India, and Persia-to peddle their goods and pick up unique and unusual items. Eventually, even Western countries-such as Spain, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands-made their way to Ayutthaya to trade as well. Ayutthaya was so popular in the 16th century that French ambassadors of King Louis XIV declared that it was as important and wealthy as Paris, France. The kingdom of Ayutthaya thrived with 33 Kings consisting of several different dynasties, until continued warfare with Burma tore its walls down in 1767.

Today, these ruins of the old kingdom can be visited. The majestic cornerstones and pillars tell the story of how great Ayutthaya once was. The amazing architecture of what is left of the old kingdom of Ayutthaya amazes tourists year-round as they take part in understanding how beautiful and powerful this ancient kingdom was. In 1991, UNESCO-United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization-added Ayutthaya to its World Heritage list. The list strives to preserve the cultural and natural heritages of locations world-wide so that they are never forgotten.

The main draw of Ayutthaya, 76 kilometers north of Bangkok, is its abundance of cultural and historical heritage which is displayed in 16 districts over 2,556 kilometers. There are good roads leading into Ayutthaya as well, providing total access to everything this ancient capital has to offer.

Festivals

Annually, around October or November, the Bang Sai Loi Krathong Festival is held in Ayutthaya. This unique festival-held nationally as well-isn't held on the same day each year, but coincides with the full moon of the 12th lunar month, which is usually in November. The festival celebrates sending away all personal misfortune on beautiful lanterns or flower pedals among the ruins of a once great city under a bright, full moon. There are also beauty contests, cultural exhibitions, and boat races that take place during the festival.

At about this same time, visit the Ayutthaya World Heritage Site to observe traditional cultural exhibitions by the Thai people. There are numerous processions, performances, and presentations surrounding the culture of the ancient city of Ayutthaya to take in.

Folk Arts And Crafts

Ayutthaya offers some of the greatest arts and crafts any city has to offer. The Bang Sai Folk Arts and Craft Centre and Village is a beautifully maintained center offering traditional goods for sale as well as hands-on training of some of their crafts. Some other villages around Ayutthaya, similar to the Bang Sai Folk Arts and Craft Centre, allow you watch-and sometimes take part in-as cultural items are being crafted. These handmade traditional crafts range from wicker work to metal work.

The Thai capital Ayutthaya has a rich cultural heritage that Thailand is proud to offer. Its ruins are preserved to tell of the city's once illustrious history and untimely downfall from war. Ayutthaya once brought in people from all over Asia and Europe to marvel at its sights and to trade goods. Today, the rest of the world joins in, astonished at the city's culture and allure.
