Ayuthaya
Cruise
Thailand,
The Land Of Smiles, Is
A nation With A Long History
Of Over 1000 Years. Before
Bangkok,Sukhothai,Ayutthaya
And Thonburi Were Sucessively
The Capitals Of The Country.
Ayutthaya Used To Be A
Flourishing And Prosperous
Capital In The Past. It
Was The Capital - for
417 Years. And during
This Long Period There
Arose A Great Deal Of
Construction, Among Them
were numberous palace
and Temples. As More Than
30 Monarches Ruled Over
Ayutthaya, innumerable
Events Occurred,
Some
Of Which Were Historically
Recorded, While Others
Became Exciting Legends,
Still Narrated Nowadays,
The Ruined Temples And
Palaces Either Naturally
Worn Out By Time Or Destroyed
By Wars, Were No Doubt
The Valuable Ancient Sites,
A Perfect Reflection Of
Golden And Legendary Glorious
Past.
