Wat Mahathat in the Ayutthaya Historical Park

I took this photo at Wat Mahathat in the Ayutthaya Historical Park in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Some parts of the Ayutthaya Historical Park are selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Wat Mahathat is one of the very important ruins of ancient city of Ayutthaya and the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Ayuttaya was the capital of Thailand (formerly known as Siam) from mid-14th century and it lasted more than 400 years. After that period, Thonburi Kingdom ruled the country until King Rama I relocated the capital to the other side of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok.
