The Exhibition Centre, located on the site of the old city, is a modern building divided into four sections. Section 1 deals with the geography and topography of the area and relates specifically to the ruins we see today. Section 2 deals with the historical records over the past 900 years. Section 3 deals with the Royal Palace itself, art and works of art of the Phitsanulok Court. Section 4 relates to King Naresuan the Great himself from his birth here at the Chan Palace to Thailand’s greatest warrior.

Today those days of glory are over as a result of repeated Burmese invasion and the fall of Ayutthaya during the second half of the 18th Century; the old city now in ruin.
