Despite the loss of several kings - who either were beaten to death with cudgels or poisoned - was still Ayutthaya people a happy gathering, "very fond of joy and mirth" according to notes of a traveler in the 1600s. Opium was in abundance and cohabitation without marriage and the wife of change was a natural part of social life.
Sa kabila ng pagkawala ng ilang mga hari - taong alinman ay pinalo sa kamatayan sa cudgels o lason - ay pa rin Ayutthaya tao sa isang masayang pagtitipon, "masyadong mahilig ng kagalakan at kasayahan" ayon sa tala ng isang traveler sa 1600s. Opyo ay sagana at patong na walang kasal at ang asawa ng pagbabago ay isang likas na bahagi ng buhay panlipunan.
