Take a tour of Ayutthaya in Thailand – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, generally known as Ayutthaya is the capital of one of Thailand’s central provinces.

It is first believed to be found near 1350 AD and it prospered magnificently until the 18th century.

It was among the most affluent and productive cities in all of Asia.

But the Burmese near completely demolished this beautiful city in the 18th century and thus, it is today laid in mostly ruins.

Its architecture, characterized by lovely monasteries, sanctuaries and prangs, was built in Thai Ayutthaya Style Art.

Masterful pieces of craftsmanship and artistry in the ancient temples and ruins are present here today.

Giant Buddha statues and carvings can be seen almost anywhere you go.
