Visa-free Thailand, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon in Ayutthaya.

🌈Highlights: [One] Built in the 14th century, it is one of the oldest buildings in Ayutthaya and a witness to the glorious history of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. [Two] It is famous for its reclining Buddha and pagoda. The reclining Buddha is 28 meters long and beautifully shaped. The main pagoda is 62 meters high and was built in 1357 to commemorate Thailand's victory over Burma. It houses a large number of Buddhist relics and historical and cultural heritage. [Three] There are many Buddha statues next to the pagoda. The heads and bodies of the statues were not made in the same era. Some of the bodies were cut off when the post road was built, and later rebuilt. [Four] It is a filming location for some scenes in the movie "Lost in Thailand" and the 1986 version of "Journey to the West." [Five] The main pagoda is one of the few temples in Ayutthaya Historical Park that can be climbed. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Ayutthaya from the top. [Six] Many local believers come to worship and pray. The pagoda is surrounded by hundreds of Buddha statues, and believers will cover the statues with yellow robes. 🎟️Tickets: THB 20 per person for foreigners, free for locals. You can drive directly to the temple, and there is a free parking area at the entrance. 🕐️Opening hours: 09:00–18:00 💗Other tips: It is said that King Naresuan of Thailand once captured the invading Burmese prince and built this magnificent stupa to commemorate the victory. Since then, the temple has become an important witness to Thai history and a cultural attraction.
