Bang Pa-In Palace: The "International Garden" by the Chao Phraya River

It was originally built during the Ayutthaya Dynasty in the 17th century and later reconstructed by King Rama IV and King Rama V. It is renowned for its design concept of "One Water, One Garden, Blending Three Kingdoms":

• Thai Essence: The main hall, "Wihan Mongkhon Bophit," is a traditional Thai wooden palace, with its gold-lacquered carvings and pointed stupas preserving the ceremonial grandeur of the Siamese royalty.
• Chinese Courtyard: The "Tianming Hall" in the garden is a Chinese-style palace built by King Rama V to welcome envoys from the Qing Dynasty, featuring red walls, upturned eaves, carved beams, and painted rafters—even the inscribed plaques bear Chinese calligraphy.
• Western-style Architecture: "Uttayan Chit Palace" is a white French-style villa paired with a meticulously trimmed European garden, once serving as the royal family's "water villa" for summer retreats.

The park also hides a water lily pond, Swan Lake, and colonial-style pavilions. A stroll here feels like traveling through a Thai palace, Chinese garden, and French manor all at once, making it a hidden gem near Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya for "easy exploration and photogenic spots."

Wat Mahathat Ayutthaya is located in Ayutthaya Historical Park and features Thailand's earliest Khmer-style pagoda resembling Angkor Wat. Despite wartime damage, precious historical artifacts were excavated from the temple's underground chambers. The most notable is the "Buddha Head in Tree Roots" - a serene Buddha face naturally embraced by bodhi tree roots, considered one of Thailand's wonders and a signature attraction of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.

Originally named "Ayutthaya" (Sanskrit for "invincible"), Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was once a thriving international metropolis in Southeast Asia. This water-bound city, encircled by the Chao Phraya River, connected trade routes between China, India, and Europe, with its densely packed palaces and Buddhist temples. After the Burmese invasion in 1767, this "Venice of the East" was burned to the ground. Today, its ruins stand as silent witnesses to the rise and fall of a dynasty.
