According to an account from the 1700s, Ayutthaya, in what is now Thailand, was then one of the largest cities in the world, a booming center of trade and industry with nearly a million inhabitants, centerpiece of the bustling Kingdom of Siam. The Kingdom traded with European powers such as England, Portugal, and the Netherlands, and there were Siamese embassies everywhere from The Haugue (Denmark) to the court of Louis XIV. This came to a tragic end in 1767, when an old conflict with Burma burst in an explosion of vengeance. Burmese troops stormed Ayutthaya, killing everyone they could find and stealing everything they could get their hands on. The city's main temple (and former royal palace), Wat Phra Si Sanphet, stands now in ruins. It's said ghosts of the slaughtered citizens of Ayutthaya still wander the city, haunting its ruins.
