When to go to Ayutthaya?
The historical park at Ayutthaya spreads brick prangs and long rows of seated Buddhas across an island between rivers. At Wat Mahathat a sandstone Buddha head sits held in the roots of a fig tree; Wat Chaiwatthanaram lines up its towers along the water and takes on a warm colour late in the day. Bang Pa-In adds pavilions and reflecting pools nearby.
