Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, located in Central Thailand, is a historically rich and culturally significant region that offers a glimpse into the ancient glory of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. This province, named after its capital city, Ayutthaya, is renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ayutthaya Historical Park, which is home to the ruins of the once-mighty Ayutthaya Kingdom. The province is situated approximately 80 kilometers north of Bangkok, making it easily accessible for day trips or weekend getaways from the bustling capital. Its strategic location at the confluence of three rivers, the Chao Phraya, Lopburi, and Pa Sak, played a significant role in the city's rise to power as a major trading hub and political center in Southeast Asia.
