- Wat Mahathat - 15:30 Hours: (30 Minutes) Wat Mahathat, established in the 13th century, is one of Ayutthaya’s oldest and most significant temples, housing the Buddha’s sacred relic.
- Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon - 16:15 Hours: (30 Minutes) Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, or “Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory,” features a prominent prang (tower). Built in the late 14th century during King U Thong’s reign, it remains active with resident monks. The monastery’s current name was adopted in the late 16th century when a large chedi was constructed. A notable Reclining Buddha statue, draped in yellow cloth, faces east. Despite destruction during the 1767 invasion, it remains a must-visit site.
