• Wat Phu Khao Thong (Golden Mount) - also known as the Monastery of the Golden Mount, is situated off the city island in the plains, 2 km northwest of Ayutthaya in the Phukhao Thong Sub-district.

The monastery was established by King Ramesuan (r. 1369-1370 / 1388-1395) in 1395. The temple’s current name refers to the tall chedi on its northeast side. At the time of the monastery’s construction, this chedi did not exist, so the temple likely had a different name.

• Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) - This is another significant temple in Ayutthaya, also known as Wat Pra Norn. It houses the largest reclining Buddha in Ayutthaya. Historical records mention this temple as part of King Barommakote’s travel route. The reclining Buddha is a large white statue, 42 meters long and 8 meters high. Despite its age, it remains in excellent condition, with a radiant face exuding happiness and a head supported by a lotus base platform.

• Wat Mahathat - Wat Phra Mahathat in Thailand was a royal temple of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It is one of the oldest and most important temples in Ayutthaya’s history, as it housed the Buddha’s holy relic. Many significant royal ceremonies of the Ayutthaya era were held here. When the Ayutthaya Kingdom fell in 1767, Wat Phra Mahathat was heavily damaged by fire and subsequently abandoned. Today, the temple is part of the Ayutthaya Historical Park. Attractions at Wat Phra Mahathat include the remains of important old structures such as pagodas, octagonal pagodas, a royal hall, small temples, murals under a Bodhi tree, and the famous sandstone Ayutthaya-style Buddha head entwined in a tree’s roots.

• Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon - This monastery was built by King U-Thong in 1357 AD to house monks ordained by Phra Wanratana Mahathera Burean. Originally named “Wat Pakaew,” it was later renamed Wat Yai Chaimongkhon after Phra Wanratana suggested to King Naresuan the Great to build a large chedi (pagoda) in 1592 AD.

• Wat Sing - Wat Phra Sri Sanphet is a royal monastery where no monks are allowed to reside. It was used for royal court ceremonies, such as the oath of allegiance ritual. It is considered equivalent to Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai and served as a model for Wat Phra Sri Ratana Sasadaram (the royal temple of the Emerald Buddha) or Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. King U-thong ordered the construction of his royal residence in this area, but when King Borom Tilokkanat ascended the throne, he moved the royal palace further north and converted the land into a sacred site, which later became this temple.
