🇹🇭✅Wat Mahathat Guide | Experience the Mystery of Ayutthaya 🌿

#Traveling abroad strategy Wat Mahathat is a must-see spot when visiting Ayutthaya! This temple, which flourished as the religious center of the Ayutthaya dynasty, is a historic ruin built in the 14th century and is a valuable place to touch the history of Buddhism and Thailand✨ ⸻ 🌟 Highlights & Recommended Points 1. 🌳 Buddha head wrapped in a bodhi tree • The iconic sight of Wat Mahathat is the Buddha head wrapped in the roots of a bodhi tree. • The head of a Buddha statue destroyed when the Burmese army invaded Ayutthaya in the 18th century has been integrated with the roots of the bodhi tree by the power of nature. • It is a mysterious and photogenic spot, so photography is a must! 📸 • When taking a photo, take a photo from a lower position than the Buddha head to show respect for it. ⸻ 2. 🏺 Khmer-style pagodas (Prangs) • Pagodas (Prangs) that incorporate Khmer architectural style are lined up, giving a sense of grand scale. • Buddhist reliefs and carvings are on the walls, giving a sense of history. ⸻ 3. 🏛️ Remains of Buddha statues • Destroyed Buddha statues and stone statues remain as remnants of the invasion of Ayutthaya. • A quiet and solemn atmosphere drifts, and you can feel the weight of history on your skin. ⸻ 🕒 Business hours • 8:00-18:00 (open all year round) • If you go early in the morning, there will be fewer tourists and you can enjoy a quiet atmosphere. 🌅 ⸻ 🎫 Admission fee • 50 baht (about 220 yen) • We also recommend a ticket that includes other ruins in Ayutthaya Historical Park! (220 baht) ⸻ 🚶♂️ Access • From Bangkok • 🚆 Train: From Bangkok Hua Lamphong Station to Ayutthaya Station, it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes • 🚲 From Ayutthaya Station, it takes about 10 minutes by tuk-tuk or rental bicycle ⸻ 🍽️ Recommended spots in the area • Pak Prachat Market: A market where you can enjoy fresh fruits and local foods, perfect for a snack! 🥭🍍 • Thong Thong Riverside: A restaurant along the Chao Phraya River, where the Ayutthaya specialty "river shrimp" is delicious 🦐 ⸻ ✅ Tips ✔️ Visit early in the morning to avoid the crowds! ✔️ When photographing the head of the Buddha on the Bodhi tree, lower your gaze to show respect✨ ✔️ Take a stroll while learning about history and experience the profound depths of Buddhism🌏 ⸻ → Experience the mysteries and history of the Ayutthaya Kingdom at Wat Mahathat! **🏯🌿
