Ancient Thai sites

These are some of the ancient sites in Thailand that I would like to visit.


The two 'must-see' historical sites in Thailand are Sukhothai Historical Park and Ayutthaya Historical Park. Both places are designated as world heritage sites and both attract millions of admirers annually, who come to see the evidence of Siam's former glory.


Most of the royal palaces in existence today date from the Bangkok period and are not more than 200 years old. The most important palace of them all is the Grand Palace, located in the same compound as the Temple of Emerald Buddha.

The Grand Palace was built in 1782 during the reign of King Rama I when he decided to establish Bangkok as the capital of Siam. It has been used as the official royal residence by the Chakri monarchs up until the reign of King Rama VIII.

  1. Wow!! Great to know about the Thailand trip as it is enjoyable and very nice to spend summer vacations. I also visited Thailand and enjoyed a lot with the comfortable stay at Koh Samui Villas for Sale.
