Branches of wisdom. Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand

Pictured here is a bodhi tree at Wat Phra Ngam, a temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Ayutthaya likely has ancient origins, with evidence of human settlement tracing back to the Mon Dvaravati period. The strategic position of the city on an island embraced by three rivers not only facilitated trade but also served as a natural fortress, shielding the city from maritime invasions. Moreover, the city's elevated location offered protection against seasonal flooding, safeguarding its inhabitants and infrastructure from the ravages of nature. Ayutthaya Historical Park encompasses the remnants of the ancient city of Ayutthaya, founded in 1351 by King Ramathibodi I. The city planning here, reflected meticulous organisation and innovation, evident in its systematic grid layout of roads, canals and encircling moats around key structures. This well-designed scheme, documented in contemporary sources and maps, capitalised on the city's strategic location amidst three rivers.
