IN THIS EPISODE:
In this episode, Mike and Angela share the fascinating story of Ayutthaya, Thailand's ancient capital. This short documentary transports you to the sweltering heart of Thailand, revealing the fascinating story of an almost forgotten civilization. Mike and Angela highlight the city's architectural marvels, the artistic blend of various cultures, its spiritual centers, and its symbols of power. They also delve into the city's fall in 1767 to Burmese forces after a 14-month siege, marking the end of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Beheaded Buddha statues and a sacred Buddha head cradled within the roots of a Bodhi tree serve as poignant reminders of the city's turbulent past.
