- Ayutthaya, located approximately 90 km from Bangkok, is an ancient city that once stood as the capital of the Siamese Empire during its peak. Easily accessible from Bangkok by van, train, or bus, Ayutthaya was founded in 1350 and became the historical second capital of the Kingdom of Siam, succeeding Sukhothai. Its pinnacle of grandeur spanned from 1350 to 1767. Unfortunately, in the latter half of the 18th century, it was largely plundered by the Burmese army, leaving behind ruins of magnificent buildings, temples, towers, and monasteries. Consequently, the kingdom’s center shifted to Thonburi. Today, Ayutthaya stands as one of Thailand’s most visited tourist destinations, earning a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1991. Travelers have three main options for reaching Ayutthaya from Hua Hin: by van/bus, private car, or Thai Railways train via Bangkok.
