Ayutthaya was the capital of the Kingdom of Siam from 1351 until it was destroyed in 1767, and its temple ruins have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. This day trip covers the five places most people come for: Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon with its big chedi and reclining Buddha, Wat Mahathat with the Buddha head held in the roots of a banyan tree, Wat Phra Si Sanphet and the great bronze Buddha of Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit, and the Khmer-style towers of Wat Chaiwatthanaram.
