When traveling into Ayutthaya city island via Pridi Damrong Bridge, many people may overlook the important ancient site that stands majestically below, that is the "Ayutthaya City Wall" along the Pa Sak River, which in the past was an important fortress in defending the city. Currently, this old brick wall still has historical evidence that we can clearly see, especially under the Pridi Damrong Bridge, which has been renovated and opened for those who are interested to walk around and experience the atmosphere of the past greatness closely.
The charm of walking around the city wall under Pridi Damrong Bridge is seeing the traces of construction with red-orange bricks, which is unique to Ayutthaya art, stretching along the Pa Sak River. The atmosphere here is quite peaceful and there is a cool breeze blowing all day long. It is ideal for tourists who want to escape the hustle and bustle to take a vintage photo walk, or sit and relax watching the lifestyle of cargo ships sailing through this main river, which helps to feel relaxed and happy with the charm of the World Heritage City.
In addition, the Ayutthaya city wall under Pridi Damrong Bridge is also easily connected to other important points, whether it is an old commercial area like Chao Phrom Market, or visiting temples nearby is convenient. For anyone planning to visit Ayutthaya on this holiday, try to find an opportunity to walk around this old city wall once. I guarantee that you will see new perspectives of Ayutthaya that are both classic and valuable than ever seen on the road, for sure.
