A City of Great Charm_Bangkok II

Ayuthaya

Ayuthaya is a place worth for you to visit,
if you are a person who can appreciate architecture, art and history.

You'll be amazed by those Thai style-chedi and statues,
Western and Chinese-style mansions,
oil paintings of the King statue and Thai legendary story,
massive ebony furniture,ornamented tiled floors and
delicate fretwork on the windows and doors.

Bang Pa-in Palace or Summer Palace, is one of the Thai Royal Palace.
It is really a palace of romance,

with fine garden and well-designated buildings.
Even the names of these buildings sound so artistic.
