Visit Wat Lokaya Sutha (Ayutthaya)
Overview Wat Lokaya Sutha

- My opinion :
If you are looking for accommodation near Wat Lokaya Sutha, see this list of hotels near Wat Lokaya Sutha.
Wat Lokaya Sutha is part of the group of temples behind the Wat Mongkhon Bophit, after the river. Just after Wat Woratcheta Ram.
It is especially its immense reclining Buddha, 37 meters long and 8 meters high, that is worth the detour. Well, it was worth the detour because it was renovated at the end of 2024 and today, from my point of view, it looks too new and has lost its historical cachet as a 16th or 1st century monument. Really a shame! It is the largest reclining Buddha in Ayutthaya, which has several (I had written an article on it). For the rest, there remain only traces of the foundations on the ground, a prang and an esplanade.
