Highlights
  • Bang Pa In Palace - Bang Pa In Palace is a complex of buildings. Amidst vast gardens and landscaping stand the following structures: Wehart Chamrunt (Heavenly Light), a Chinese-style royal palace and throne room; Warophat Phiman (Excellent and Shining Heavenly Abode), a royal residence; Ho Withun Thasana (Sages’ Lookout), a brightly painted lookout tower; and Aisawan Thiphya-Art (Divine Seat of Personal Freedom), a pavilion built in the middle of a pond.

  • Wat Mahathat - Wat Mahathat, known as “the temple of the Great Relic,” was one of the most significant temples in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Located on the historical island, the large monastery features a huge central prang, a very large principal viharn and ubosot, and numerous subsidiary chedis and viharns. The upper part of its once massive central prang has collapsed, leaving only the base. One of the temple’s most photographed objects is the head of a stone Buddha image entwined in the roots of a tree.

  • Historic City of Ayutthaya - Passed by the Historic City of Ayutthaya.

  • Wat Chaiwatthanaram - One of Ayutthaya’s most impressive temples, the Khmer-style Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a royal temple that was used by the King and other members of the Royal family.

  • Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit - Phra Mongkhon Bophit, or the Buddha of the Holy and Supremely Auspicious Reverence, was sculpted in 1538 during the reign of King Chairacha (r. 1534-1547) at Wat Chi Chiang Sai. The year 1538 is generally accepted as the year the image was built, based on the Luang Prasoet version of the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya (most other versions place its construction at 880 of the Chulasakkarat era, or about 20 years earlier).

  • Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the holiest temple on the site of the old Royal Palace in Thailand’s ancient capital of Ayutthaya until the city was completely destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. It was the grandest and most beautiful temple in the capital and served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.

Another side of Thailand ( besides Bangkok) - The summer palace is very European in style and less less of what most tourist likely want to see. The remaining visits are more novel and exotic, albeit some are mostly in ruins. Still, since almost everything in Bangkok in very contemporary, so the day trip provides an alternative view of Thailand past and older temples.
