Places to visit in Ayutthaya

Must-visits in Ayutthaya

Wat Phra Si Sanphet

วัดพระศรีสรรเพชญ์

---

My opinion :

the most visited temple in Ayuthaya, three chedis perfectly preserved make this wat very unique.

Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon

วัดใหญ่ชัยมงคล

---

My opinion :

perfectly restored, a very beautiful temple with two large Buddhas on each side of the big chedi and a reclyning Buddha a little further. Around the main building a square with buddhas statues. It is better to visit it early in the morning around 8:30-9:00, there are very few visitors and you will practically have the temple for you alone.

Wat Phanan Choeng

วัดพนัญเชิงวรวิหาร

---

My opinion :

Temple on the outskirts of the city, it has a huge golden Buddha sitting

Wat Mahathat

วัดมหาธาตุ

---

My opinion :

very ruined especially interesting for its Buddha head trapped in the roots of a tree

Wat Mongkhon Bophit

วัดมงคลบพิตร

---

My opinion :

close to the Wat Phra Si Sanphet, it houses a huge bronze Buddha.

Wat Chai Wattanaram

วัดไชยวัฒนาราม

---

My opinion :

Khmer-style temple outside the city. It can be accessed by longtail (boat) from the Chankasem Palace Pier.

Wat Lokaya Sutha

วัดโลกยสุธาราม

---

My opinion :

and its reclining Buddha

Ayutthaya Weekend Nigh Market

ถนนคนเดินกรุงศรี

---

My opinion :

This night market offers a very nice decor and a pleasant atmosphere. It is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings in the heart of the city near the most famous historical temples of Ayutthaya. This is particularly a place that I recommend for dinner and discover the local cuisine.

Wat Phra Ngam

วัดพระงาม

---

My opinion :

This small temple is very rarely mentioned in guide books but its ''Gate of Time'', a ruined arch in the roots of a tree, is probably one of the most photogenic places n Ayutthaya. I let you judge by looking at my pictures and decide if you want to go or not.

Wat Niwet Thammaprawat

วัดนิเวศธรรมประวัติราชวรวิหาร

---

My opinion :

This temple located in Bang Pa In 25 kilometers in the South from Ayutthaya is unique and surprising for two reasons: it is a Buddhist temple with a neo-Gothic church architecture and the way to access it is not common.
