A circular rainbow highlights the prang of Wat Phra Ram as a passenger jet flies over Ayutthaya, Thailand, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
During 1996, I had the opportunity to travel to Asia for the British government prior to the turnover of Hong Kong back to the China mainland. On the same trip, I tacked on a visit to Thailand for some R & R. It did not disappoint. Traveling to the ancient capital north of Bangkok was one of the highlights of the trip. Founded in 1351, It was the capital of the country until its destruction by the Burmese army in 1767.
Wat Phra Ram was built in 1912 B.E. by King Ramesuan at the cremation site for his father, King Uthong. The intricately carved, tower-like spire, known as a Prang, is one of nine temples in the ancient city. The ruins were declared a historical park in 1976.
