The original city of Ayttuhaya was Capitol of Thailand in the 1350 until it was burned by the Burmese in 1767. It was - from the ruins left - a massive complex, similar to Rome in the house foundations and Wat structures left. 
Every Buddha statue is headless - beheaded by the Burmese - and bricks have burned marks. One Wat had been restored and the next one was in the originally ruins so it was fascinating to see how it might have been and how it was left.
The Capitol was rebuilt on the Bangkok site.
How great kingdoms rise and fall.
