	Ayutthaya kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kingdom of Ayutthaya was a Thai kingdom that existed from the 1350 to 1767.
		Ayutthaya was friendly towards foreign traders, including the Chinese, Indians, Japanese and Persians (for contacts between Safavid Iran and Ayutthaya see Christoph Marcinkowski), and later the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British and French, permitting them to set up villages outside the city walls.
