#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี When we go back before Wat Mahathat was recorded as a world heritage site, it has been an important place for Thais since ancient times. In the royal chronicles, the royal handwritten version records that this temple was built during the reign of King Borommarachathirat I. Later, in 1927, King Ramesuan ordered the Buddha's relics to be enshrined under the base of the main prang of Wat Mahathat, making this temple very important during the Ayutthaya period and the center of the capital for various royal ceremonies as it was the residence of the Supreme Patriarch of the Khamwasi sect. The first prang was influenced by the Khmer prang, which during the reign of King Songtham, the laterite top collapsed. Until the reign of King Prasat Thong, he ordered the renovation and reinforcement of the prang's top to be higher than before, until it was destroyed in the Second Fall of Ayutthaya, leaving only the gable layer. ✨Interesting things inside✨ 🛕 Large prang Now completely collapsed 🛕Octagonal pagoda A unique pagoda that is the only one found in Ayutthaya. 🛕The temple at the base of the Chukchi The Fine Arts Department excavated 5 small earthenware containers containing gold sheets in various shapes. 🛕Medium-sized prang There are paintings inside. 🛕Patriarch's Palace The location of the Patriarch's Palace 🛕Sandstone Buddha head It is famous for its fame from the roots of the Bodhi tree covering it, which is believed to have been caused by the Buddha head falling to the base of the tree during the fall of Ayutthaya the second time until the roots covered it, creating a strange beauty. 📌 Currently, the temple is located in the historical park area of ​​Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. 🎟️ Admission: Thai people 10 baht ⏰ Open for visits every day from 08:00-18:30 hrs. #Beautiful temples in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province #Ayutthaya attractions #Ayutthaya reviews #One-day trip #Temples in Ayutthaya #Wat Mahathat #Budget travel #Suitable for families
