The extensive collection of ruins and records indicating the historical and cultural wealth of Ayutthaya earned this park recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To celebrate this status, the Fair is organised annually and features light and sound shows of its glorious years, exhibitions of Ayutthaya as a World Heritage Site, cultural performances, and beauty pageant contests.

Highlight: Apart from the magnificent light and sound extravaganza, you can enjoy a variety of food, both savoury and sweet, in a traditional Thai way at the floating market, as well as shopping for various OTOP products.
