Wat Phra Mahathat was built in the period of Borom Rachathirat I (Borom Rachathirat I 1370-1388), its main tower was about 40 meters high, it was one of the earlier Khmer-style pagodas built in Ayutthaya, but now only the bottom is left. From the surrounding stupa, you can vaguely see traces of stucco decoration at that time.

Trip.com User: The ctrip we booked was great and made us have a great time! Because I am a lazy bug who can't accept the trip, sleep too much, and can't appreciate the local characteristics. I chose the lazy itinerary to sleep until I am full and can make up, and there are professional guides to explain cultural history in Chinese. It is even more exaggerated that there are photographers to help us take pictures of the beauty of the Internet. I thought I was reporting a wedding photography trip! You don't have to hurry to travel and you will be free to enjoy the ancient heritage culture! This is a relaxing and long-learning tour ☺️

Recommended Length of Stay: 0.5-1 Days

Ayutthaya Historical Park covers two-thirds of the remains of Ayutthaya, including a total of 95 sites such as the palaces (that is, the ruins of Ayutthaya), temples, and museums during the Ayutthaya Dynasty, of which 67 have been reduced to ruins, and only 4 temples still remain Most of the temples in Ayutthaya are Khmer and Sri Lankan styles. There are large grasslands, flowers, plants, pavilions, small bridges, pools, etc. between the monuments, just like a big park, with some ancient pagodas scattered among them, there is a perfect harmony. There are also large areas of grass, ponds, etc. in the park. It takes a whole day or more to see all of them. There are restaurants and hotels. Tourists can choose to rent bicycles for excursions, or take a boat ride around the moat to see an overview of the city.

เที่ยวแหลก แดกสะบัด: Historical Park Ayutthaya Province Pictures and stories by Pnas Wiwat Phanan Chathae Thailand is a trip that takes foreign friends to Ayutthaya that is considered to look at Ayutthaya in the eyes of outsiders who are just a famous tourist. Believe that the Ayutthaya is not just ruins And an ancient object as much Only seen But it is a sign of the civilization that (if you think carefully) prosperous like nowhere else in the world is comparable. A kingdom that built and built itself to survive and safely. Having wealth for more than 400 years is unusual. This is just a ruin After being destroyed and robbed There is hardly this treasure left. And think about how much it will be if it is still intact This will enter the fourth century of Rattanakosin Square. I want to know as well which direction it will grow and remain. It will be like Ayutthaya to have the same end or that it will adapt to a very progressive development. Standing for hundreds of thousands of years People of our generation and the next generation can only know. Want to know how the view that has never been seen by Ayutthaya through the lens. And photographer eyes Who could have advice on the place? And what good stories Recommended too I want to spend more than one day to record the pictures of the people, the way of life of the people there today to tell each other.
