Kraljevina Ayutthaya

**Kraljevstvo Ajutaja** (tajski อยุธยา, ) bilo je sijamsko kraljevstvo koje je postojalo od 1350 do 1767. godine. Ajutaja je imala prijateljske odnose prema stranim trgovcima, među kojima su bili Kinezi, Vijetnamci, Portugalci, Indijci, Japanci, Korejci, Persijci, a kasnije i Španci, Holanđani, Englezi i Francuzi, dozvoljavajući im da osnuju sela van zidina prestonice, koja se takođe zvala Ajutaja.

U 16. veku, strani trgovci opisali su ovaj grad kao jedan od najvećih i najbogatijih gradova na Istoku. Dvor kralja Naraja (1656. - 1688) imao je snažne veze sa francuskim kraljem Lujom -{XIV}-, čiji su ambasadori grad po veličini i bogatstvu upoređivali sa Parizom.

Do 1550. godine, vazali kraljevstva obuhvatali su neke gradove-države na Malajskom poluostrvu, Sukotaju, Lan-Na i delove Burme i Kambodže. Ovaj deo istorije kraljevstva ponekad se naziva i „Ajutajsko carstvo”.

U stranim zapisima, Ajutaja se zvala „Sijam”, mada mnogi izvori takođe navode da je Ajutajski narod sebe nazivao *[[Tai peoples|Tajima]]*, a svoje kraljevstvo *Krung Taj* (กรุงไท), što znači *tajska zemlja* (krng thị). Ovo kraljevstvo se takođe pominje kao *Iudea* na slici napravljenoj po narudžbini Holandske istočnoindijske kompanije.
