Ayutthaya Heritage

Once a year the residents of Ayutthaya are given the chance to
slip into the skin of their ancestors and feel what life must have
been like when their city was once the ruling capital of the
Kingdom of Siam.
Ayutthaya's annual Heritage Festival builds a bridge between
present and past when old and young are spinning their tales
through traditional performances, musical, dance and martial
arts competitions.
In this portrait series ordinary folks from all walks of life have
gone back in time to tell us the fables of their ancestral
bloodline.
