- Laem Chabang - Laem Chabang is a port city situated in Chonburi Province, Thailand. It encompasses tambon Bang Lamung of Bang Lamung District, as well as the tambons Bueng, Surasak, Thung Sukhla, and parts of Nong Kham in Si Racha District. As of 2006, the population was 61,801. The town has developed around the port and serves as a key stop on the coastal highway connecting Pattaya and Bangkok via Sukhumvit Road. It is also recognized for its Japanese retirement community, featuring specialty stores catering to them.
- Ayutthaya - The Ayutthaya Kingdom was a Siamese kingdom that thrived from 1350 to 1767. Ayutthaya was welcoming to foreign traders, including the Chinese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Indians, Japanese, Koreans, Persians, and later Spaniards, Dutch, English, and French, allowing them to establish villages outside the capital’s walls, also named Ayutthaya.
- Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon - Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, or the Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory, is located off the city island in the southeastern area of Ayutthaya, in the present Phai Ling Sub-district. Historically, it has been known by other names such as Wat Pa Kaeo, Wat Chao Phraya Thai, and Wat Yai Chaiya Mongkhon.
- Chao Sam Phraya National Museum - Open from Wednesday to Sunday.
The Chao Sam Phraya National Museum, located on the historical island of Ayutthaya, showcases artifacts unearthed during excavations and restorations of ancient temples in Ayutthaya.
The museum is named after Chao Sam Phraya, a 15th-century King of Ayutthaya. It displays several thousand items, including Buddha images, votive tablets, gold artifacts, and other treasures recovered from the crypts of various temples.
- Ayutthaya Historical Study Centre - Open from Monday to Tuesday.
The Ayutthaya Historical Study Centre is funded by the Japanese Government and is dedicated to researching Ayutthaya’s history, particularly its period as the nation’s capital. The centre includes a museum and offers a wealth of information, along with a well-stocked library covering all aspects of the city’s history. The displays are impressive and cover the city’s development and local traditions. While a visit is worthwhile, it should be noted that the study centre’s content is focused on a single theme - Ayutthaya. If time is limited, visiting the Study Centre might not be as high a priority as other sites unless one is a keen student of Thai history.
- Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit - Phra Mongkhon Bophit, or the Buddha of the Holy and Supremely Auspicious Reverence, was sculpted in 1538 during the reign of King Chairacha (r. 1534-1547) at Wat Chi Chiang Sai. The year 1538 is widely accepted as the year the image was created, based on the Luang Prasoet version of the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya (most other versions place its construction at 880 of the Chulasakkarat era, or approximately 20 years earlier).
- Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Wat Phra Si Sanphet, “the temple of the Buddha Si Sanphet,” was the most significant temple in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. As part of the Royal Palace complex, this large monastery with numerous structures was used exclusively by Ayutthaya Kings; it was a Royal temple without resident monks.
- Wat Chaiwatthanaram - One of Ayutthaya’s most remarkable temples, the Khmer-style Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a Royal temple used by the King and other Royal family members.
The monastery is located opposite the southwest corner of the historical island, across the Chao Phraya river. A boat trip around the historical island offers beautiful views of this large, well-preserved temple.
