Same Day Wat Mahathat
- 3:30 PM - Wat Mahathat, located in Ayutthaya, Thailand, is a historical and cultural gem that transports visitors back in time. Steeped in rich history, this Buddhist temple was constructed in the 14th century and was once the center of Ayutthaya's religious life. The temple complex is renowned for its iconic Buddha head entwined in the roots of a banyan tree, an image that has become an emblem of Ayutthaya's ancient glory.
- Duration: 30 Minutes
Same Day Wat Yai Chai Mong Khon
- 4:15 PM - Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, also known as the "Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory," stands out with its prominent towering prang that dominates the surroundings. This ancient temple, constructed in the latter part of the 14th century during the reign of King U Thong, remains active to this day, serving as a residence for monks. It acquired its current name in the late 16th century with the construction of a substantial chedi. Positioned in the northeast is a sizable Reclining Buddha statue, adorned in yellow cloth and facing east towards the sunrise. Despite facing destruction during the 1767 invasion, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon has endured and remains a remarkable destination well worth exploring.
- Duration: 30 Minutes
Same Day Wat Chaiwatthanaram
- 4:45 PM - Renowned for its remarkable Khmer-style architecture and picturesque riverside setting, this temple stands as one of Ayutthaya's most iconic and well-maintained landmarks. It attracts a multitude of visitors, particularly during the late afternoon and sunset, when the ambiance becomes truly enchanting. Witnessing local residents adorned in traditional attire engaging in evening prayers adds an extra layer of fascination to the experience. Keep an eye out for bats emerging from their resting spaces within the buildings during sunset. Although one of the stupas is presently undergoing restoration, it doesn't detract from the breathtaking view of the sunset. (We plan to return and relish the temple's shimmering beauty during the evening hours.)
