Wat Chaiwatthanaram
Wat Chaiwatthanaram is one of the most impressive temples in Ayutthaya, built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong. The temple features a beautiful Khmer-style design, highlighted by a tall central prang symbolizing Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Buddhist cosmology. Surrounding the main tower are smaller prangs and galleries once filled with Buddha images, creating a grand and symmetrical layout. The temple was used for royal ceremonies before being damaged during the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767. Today, its well-preserved ruins offer visitors a glimpse into the glory of the ancient kingdom, and it is especially popular for its breathtaking views at sunset.
Wat Mahathat
Wat Mahathat is one of the most important temples in the ancient city of Ayutthaya, believed to have been built in the 14th century during the early Ayutthaya Kingdom. The temple once served as a religious center and housed sacred relics of the Buddha. Today, it is best known for the famous Buddha head entwined in the roots of a banyan tree, a unique and iconic image of Thailand. Although much of the temple was destroyed during the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, its atmospheric ruins and historical significance make it a must-visit site for travelers interested in Thai history and culture.

Seeing the Buddha head in the tree roots was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Angie was a fantastic guide, very organized, friendly, and always happy to answer all of our questions. She shared so many interesting stories and historical details that made each place feel more meaningful. The whole day was smooth, comfortable, and well-planned from start to finish. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the ancient temples and take photos. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Thailand for the first time.
