Sanphet Prasat Palace

If you visit Ancient Siam in Samut Prakan you will see the Sanphet Prasat Palace. This was the principal palace during the Ayutthaya era. It was unfortunately burned to the ground by the Burmese in 1767 when they invaded the city. Today, only the brick foundations can be seen. This reproduction at Ancient Siam is based on contemporary records and drawings of the time mainly made by visiting foreigners. Most of the Thai records from this period were destroyed.
