Ayutthaya, the former second capital of Siam (as Thailand was called until 1932) is nowadays a modern city where you find the remains of the ancient Ayutthaya Kingdom with many temples and Buddha images. The Wat Chai Watthanarm, build in 1630, is located just outside Ayutthaya city and along the banks of the Chao Phraya River. This former temple is a big complex and one of the temples complexes that gives a good impression of how it once was. If you are into riding a bicycle, explore Ayuthaya by bicycle with Recreational Thailand Biking.
