- Ayutthaya: The former capital of Siam was one of the world's largest and most sophisticated cities before it was ransacked by the Burmese in 1756. Today it remains one of Thailand's greatest historical treasures, with abundant evidence of its former majesty. It is easily reached in a day from Bangkok.
- Sukhothai: Founded in 1238, Sukhothai (The Dawn of Happiness) was a capital of an early Thai kingdom. Many of the ruins of this religious and cultural center are skillfully preserved and well maintained in an idyllic setting.
