Where to walk in Thailand
- Ayutthaya (3 tours): For four centuries one of the largest and richest cities on earth, an island capital ringed by three rivers that received ambassadors from Versailles, razed by a Burmese army in 1767 and left as ruins. A royal core of broken chedis, a downriver belt of foreign quarters, and a skyline of prangs that taught the word Siam to point at heaven.
- Bangkok (3 tours): A capital founded in 1782 as a deliberate reincarnation of burned Ayutthaya: a royal island of gilded temples ringed by canals, a Chinatown older than the palace that built the kingdom's fortune, and the country's first paved road cutting a European quarter out of a water city. Layer on layer, still open for business.
- Chiang Mai (3 tours): The moated capital of Lanna, a northern Thai-Buddhist kingdom that kept its own script, temples, and dynasty for centuries before Bangkok absorbed it. A near-perfect square laid out in 1296, a far riverbank the teak trade built, and a silversmith road that still fills with craft every Saturday night.
- Phuket (3 tours): Long before the beaches, a tin island where Hokkien Chinese migrants mined a fortune and built a Straits port town of pastel Sino-Portuguese shophouses. An old town of arcaded lanes and tin-baron mansions, Chinese shrines behind one of the most extreme festivals on earth, and a Baba-Nyonya society with almost nothing to do with the rest of Thailand.
- Sukhothai (3 tours): The kingdom Thailand calls its first, whose ruined park preserves a national origin story in stone: the lotus-bud chedi, the walking Buddha, a king credited with the Thai alphabet, and a giant seated image pilgrims once believed could speak. A planned city engineered against drought, with its holiest temples set on the forested ridge to the west.
