  • Wat Mahathat - 15:30 (30 minutes): Wat Mahathat, built in the 13th century, is one of Ayutthaya’s oldest and most significant temples, once housing the Buddha’s holy relic.

  • Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon - 16:15 (30 minutes): Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, or the “Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory,” features a high prang (tower) and dates back to the late 14th century during King U Thong’s reign. The temple remains active with resident monks. Its current name was adopted in the late 16th century when a large chedi was constructed. A large Reclining Buddha statue, wrapped in yellow cloth, faces east. The temple was destroyed during the 1767 invasion but remains a must-visit site.

  • Wat Chaiwatthanaram - 16:45: Wat Chaiwatthanaram is one of Ayutthaya’s most iconic and well-preserved temples, known for its Khmer-style architecture and scenic riverside location. It’s popular for late afternoon and sunset visits, with locals often praying in traditional clothing. Bats can be seen leaving the buildings at sunset. One stupa is under restoration but doesn’t affect the sunset view. We’ll return to enjoy the temple illuminated at night.
