Ayutthaya City
Edit ThisFounded in the 14th century and sacked in the 18th, Ayutthaya City was the capital of the Siamese empire. If you are drawn to cathedrals when in Europe, you must visit Ayutthaya and wander around the beautiful ancient temples. Explore on foot or bicycle. A great day trip from Bankok (50 miles / 80 km).

Hua Hin became popular as a rainy season retreat in the 1920's with the construction of the railway line from Bangkok. The beautiful, colonial style Railway Hotel was built near Hua Hin's famous rocks in 1923 by the State Railway Authority, which also built Thailand's first public golf course in Hua Hin in 1924. In 1926, King Rama VII built the Klai Kangwon (Far From Worries) Palace on the beach a few km north of the Railway Hotel and this palace is still frequently used by the Royal Family. This set the stage for Hua Hin's popularity and unique ambiance which remains to this day.
