The whole 3,000 Rai (approx. 1,186 acres or 4,800,000 sqm) of Ayutthaya Historical Park was announced to be the world heritage in the World Heritage Committee Meeting at Carthage, Tunisia on December 13th, 1991.

 

This year, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province has held a large-scale event to celebrate its 30th year as a world cultural heritage site, called “Yor Yos Ying Fa Ayutthaya Moradok Lok”, from 17th to 26th of December 2021.

 

The event consists of 8 parades kilometers long, a cultural field, booths of Thai lifestyle, boat rolling, sight-seeing on the tram, cultural shows, and light and sound shows.

 

Tourists can also rent traditional Thai dresses to wear and enjoy the event.

Attended Tuesday night. Highly recommended. Festooned with miriads of lights, food in abundance and in great variety, entertainment in many different parts of the park. Can't help but reflect, similar festivities in Australia would have been witness to a plethora of beer selling stalls but none to be seen here. Still, everyone was seen to have an enjoyable experience and, no doubt, will look forward to the event next year.

Congratulations. This all was possible also due to my humble contributions of millions of Baht in income and corporate taxes which I paid over the last 30+ years here. 

I might even visit the park one day, once I pay the same entry fee as all those Thais who never contributed anything in form of taxes to the restoration and upkeeping of the park ????
