Baan Hollanda is situated on the land where once there was a “factory” or trading post of the Dutch United East India Company (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie or VOC), as well as a settlement comprising both Dutch and people of other nations.
The city of Ayutthaya was then one of the largest and busiest emporia in Southeast Asia, filled with people of various ethnic origins, many of whom had come to stay.
