Multi society of Ayutthaya and food culture on Ayutthaya Alluvial fallow visit unofficial tourism

Abstract

          The objective of this research was to examine Ayutthaya’s pluralistic society and the development of Ayutthaya’s ethnic food culture through the private royal travel route, used by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). As an ancient capital, Ayutthaya plays a very important role in Thai history due to its location between the tidal bore of two seas. It also was an international port city that welcomed foreigners visiting to develop diplomatic relations, trade, and settlement. As a result, Ayutthaya developed a pluralistic society consisting of people of different races. When King Rama V made private royal trips to the area. He favored home-cooked meals, bought local ingredients, and even had meals with local villagers. His visits highlighted the need for proper infrastructure to reach and connect to Ayutthaya’s outlying districts, which today included four routes by car, two routes by train, and one route by boat.
