Tour Option 6: Ayutthaya

Prior to the mid-13th century Ayutthaya was an outpost of the Khmer Empire, and the temples dating from the 10th to the 13th centuries are deeply influenced by the Khmer style. Temples constructed after the Khmer period have a noticeably different, more natively 'Thai' look.
