The reason why it\u2019s the most impressive is because the temples located inside the park used to be part of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya, which prior to the establishment of a new Kingdom whose capital was Bangkok, was the largest and richest kingdom in Thailand\u2019s history. Ayutthaya was founded in 1351 and remained the capital city until 1767 when Burmese forces invaded, captured the city, and set to work laying ruin to it, including its temples and palaces. Some of the temples were left in a better state, other worse, but nonetheless all are interesting and worth visiting.

The historical park covers an area of 2.89 square kilometres and contains 13 ruined temples, an elephant camp, the remains of a Japanese settlement, and a study centre. The park is free to enter although there is an admission fee of 50 THB to visit each of the ruined temples. You can easily walk between all the major sites in the historical park, although many people choose to rent a bicycle which it is very safe to ride around the many pedestrianised pathways inside the park, less so around the rest of the town of Ayutthaya. The three highlights of the park are Wat Phra Si Samphet, Wat Phra Ram and Wat Maha Tat."}]
