Ayutthaya, Thailand

Off the Beaten Path in Ayutthaya

The real Ayutthaya lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

The ruined capital of a powerful Siamese kingdom, where headless Buddhas and crumbling temples rise from a flat river island.
