- Wat Mahathat - Wat Mahathat, located east of the Grand Palace near Pa Than Bridge, is believed to be one of Ayutthaya’s oldest temples, possibly built by King Boromaraja I (1370-88).
Once a royal temple of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, Wat Phra Mahathat is one of the oldest and most significant temples in Ayutthaya’s history. It housed the Buddha’s holy relic and hosted many important royal ceremonies during the Ayutthaya era. However, after the kingdom’s fall in 1767, the temple was severely damaged by fire and subsequently abandoned. Today, it is part of the Ayutthaya Historical Park.
Attractions in Wat Phra Mahathat include remains of important old buildings like pagodas, octagonal pagodas, a royal hall, small temples, murals under a Bodhi tree, and the famous sandstone Ayutthaya-style head of the Buddha image nestled in a tree’s root.
- Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon - Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, one of Ayutthaya’s significant temples, has a rich history and is still an active temple with resident monks. Thai people visit to pay respects to Buddha and honor King Naresuan the Great, a highly respected historical figure. The main bell-shaped chedi is a distinctive landmark, and visitors can climb steps for views over the temple complex. Surrounding the chedi is a rectangular gallery with stone Buddha images, now adorned with saffron-colored sashes.
- Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, in Pratu Chai subdistrict, Ayutthaya, is a significant historical site and a long-standing spiritual center for Thais. Located within the royal palace grounds, it served as the royal monastery, where monks are not allowed to reside. Despite this, the temple played a crucial role in conducting ceremonies within the royal court, including the oath of allegiance ritual. It is considered equivalent to Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai and a model for Bangkok’s Wat Phra Sri Ratana Sasadaram (the royal temple of the Emerald Buddha) or Wat Phra Kaew.
- Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) - Wat Lokayasutharam, near the old Royal Palace and Wat Phra Si Sanphet in Ayutthaya, houses the largest reclining Buddha statue in the city, standing at 8 meters tall and 37 meters across, entirely constructed from brick. This temple is often referred to as the “Temple of the Reclining Buddha.” The statue, set amid various ruins, adds to its beauty as the sole complete structure in the area.
Originally covered with an orange cloth, the Buddha statue is now exposed to the elements, drawing crowds who bring flowers and incense sticks for prayers. The well-preserved central prang and an intriguing Lanna-style chedi to the northwest of the Reclining Buddha contribute to the site’s historical charm.
- Wat Phra Ram - Wat Phra Ram, a nearby ruin to the former grand palace in Ayutthaya, sits over a swamp and was built on the cremation site of King Rathibodi I in 1369. It is considered the first temple constructed after the king’s death, sanctioned by his son. While the temple’s treasuries were once filled with the king’s belongings and treasures, they have long been looted.
Located at the heart of Ayutthaya’s old town, Wat Phra Ram is dedicated to the Hindu deity Shri Ram. The intact Prang, a richly carved temple tower, stands out despite other parts of the temple being in ruins. The serene surroundings make it an ideal place for quiet reflection. In front of the temple lies a vast swamp known as Bueng Phra Ram.
