#Visit the exhibition, organized in the Japanese village, Ayutthaya Province, for you to see, including costumes, ancient weapons. But if you talk about history, Thao Thong Khip Ma or Marie Guimar de Pina was a half-Japanese and half-Portuguese who played an important political role during the reign of King Narai. She married Okya Wichayen, the Minister of the Port Department. But after the change of reign, she was sentenced to death along with her husband and was imprisoned for 2 years. With her cooking skills, she devoted herself to serve as a special official in the kitchen during the reign of King Taksin. And created many "Thong" desserts that Thai people have not forgotten until today. The name "Thao Thong Khip Ma" is a position in the kitchen during the Ayutthaya period with a salary of 400 according to the Three Seals Law. Today, the Thong desserts are spread throughout the country and there are still people who continue to make these desserts in Ayutthaya Province. #trip #history
