Ayutthaya (about 100 km north from Bangkok) was the last capital of Siam. Before being sacked by Burmese army (end eighteen century), Ayutthaya was a glorious city, the most important in all South East Asia. During its Golden Age, (Seventeen century), Ayutthaya had even diplomatic and commercial relationships with some important kingdoms like Japan, Portugal or France. Louis the Fourteen welcomed ambassadors of Siam in Versailles, whilst French envoys settled down in Ayutthaya.

On the way to Ayutthaya, you will stop at the ‘Summer Royal Residence’ in Bang Pa In and will admire some of the original pavilions forming this rich architectural compound.
