Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (Thai: พระนครศรีอยุธยา; IPA: [pʰráʔ náʔkʰɔ̄ːn sǐː ʔājúttʰājāː]) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, central Thailand. Its former name as the capital city of Ayutthaya Kingdom was "Krungthep Thawarawadi Si Ayutthaya" (Thai: กรุงเทพทวารวดีศรีอยุธยา).
History
According to George Coedes, tradition states Ramathibodi I founded Dvaravati Sri Ayudhya in 1350. [1]:222
Created in 1897, the district was originally called Rop Krung (รอบกรุง). The district name was changed to Krung Kao (กรุงเก่า) in 1917.[2] In 1957 the name was changed to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.[3] to commemorate the old capital city of the Ayutthaya kingdom. This makes it unique among Thailand's capital districts, the rest of which are named Amphoe Mueang followed by the name of province.
