Pa Sak River and Thai Temple photo copyrighted by: Alan Ingram The Ayutthaya period is looked on by many as the time when much of what is
now thought of as "Thai style" was developed. In temples, this is when you see
a marked transition from the Khmer style "prangs" to the bell shaped "chedi." While Sukothai further north is seen as the birth of the Thai kingdom, Ayutthaya is seen today as its high point. Around Ayutthaya are signs of the Japanese, French, Dutch and Portuguese traders that came to the Thai court.
