# Japanese Village

Ayutthaya, Thailand

On the Chao Phraya's eastern bank stood a 17th-century settlement of Japanese traders and mercenaries led by Yamada Nagamasa. A riverside memorial park and museum now mark the site, recalling Siam's once-thriving Japanese community and its dramatic rise and fall.
