6. Ayutthaya, Thailand
via ninetyeast.co.uk
For a time, Ayutthaya was the capital of the kingdom of Siam, now known as Thailand. Built along the shores of the Chao Phraya River, the city was once considered one of the most prosperous of its time, earning the nickname “Venice of the East.”
Today, the city is in ruins, save for the landmarks preserved at the Ayutthaya Historical Park. On the site stand numerous temples, with Wat Thammikarat and Wat Yanasen as only two of many.
