Prasat Nakhon Luang is situated on the east bank of the Pa Sak River in Nakhon Luang District of Ayutthaya province. The former royal residence is situated near the Pa Sak River.
Prasat Nakhon Luang is one of the five royal residences or palaces outside the city of
Ayutthaya cited in the old documents.
The Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya mention that King Prasat Thong sent a Siamese delegation to Angkor in Cambodia in 1631 AD with the task to bring back plans of the City of Angkor and its palaces. He then ordered a royal palace built, based on these plans, as a resting place half way between Ayutthaya and Tha Ruea. Tha Ruea was the final debarkation point for the royal barges, as from here travel continued on land towards the Buddha’s Footprint in Saraburi.
Prasat Nakhon Luang was erected by King Prasat Thong, being a design copied from the royal Khmer palace at Angkor Thom, to celebrate the event of the renewal of Cambodia's allegiance to Siam. The relations with the vassal-state of Cambodia ...
Markaziy Bozor, also known as Kolkhoznyy Rynok or the Central Market of Bukhara, stands on the northern edge of the historic city, close to the Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum, the remains of Talipach Gate, and the green expanse of Samanid Park.
Unlike the sixteenth century covered trading domes that fill the tourist core of the old town, this large marketplace serves the daily needs of local residents and visitors seeking an unfiltered glimpse of contemporary Uzbek life.
Formed during the Soviet period and operating in its present form since the 1980s, it continues Bukhara’s long commercial tradition while occupying a modern site outside the main UNESCO protected monuments.
Farmers from villages within a fifty kilometer radius bring fresh produce each morning, filling the stalls with melons, watermelons, plums, figs, vegetables, dairy products, meats, spices, nuts, dried fruits, honey, and freshly baked flatbreads known as lepyoshka. Sections for clothing, household goods, and simple prepared foods ...
Port FC vs Rayong FC
Thai League 1 - Matchday 6 - 24 October 2026
PAT Stadium
The Thai League stands as Thailand’s top professional football competition, born in 1996 when the Football Association of Thailand converted the traditional Kor Royal Cup into a proper league format. What began as a modest collection of mostly Bangkok-based and institutional sides gradually expanded through mergers with provincial competitions, adopted full professional licensing standards, and settled into its current sixteen-team structure.
Today the league operates as a double round-robin season that determines the national champion, awards Asian qualification places, and sends the bottom three clubs down to the second division, with Buriram United having claimed the majority of recent titles while provincial teams continue to rise and challenge the established order.
Port FC were established in 1967 under the Port Authority of Thailand. The club enjoyed early success by collecting multiple Kor Royal Cup and Queen’s...
October 23 2026, the State Railway of Thailand operated one of its special steam locomotive services from Bangkok’s Hua Lamphong station to Ayutthaya and back. The trip marks Chulalongkorn Day in honor of King Rama V. Two restored Pacific-class steam locomotives, numbers 824 and 850, pull the train.
They left the Thonburi depot early this morning and reached Hua Lamphong around 6:05 a.m. for an approximate 8:05 a.m. departure. The outbound run arrives in Ayutthaya near 10:20 a.m., giving passengers about six hours to visit the ancient capital’s temples, historical parks, markets, and riverside spots.
Round-trip fares are 350 baht in ordinary third-class fan carriages and 799 baht in air-conditioned OTOP or JR-West coaches, with the higher price including snacks and drinks.
Tickets are available through the SRT D-Ticket system and at stations across the country, though the Ayutthaya steam trips tend to sell out fast.
These steam excursions run six times a year on selected national and royal ...
