#Visit the ancient city Been there Share to stories 🚙 Come see the beauty of the temple🙏🏻Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya ✍🏻Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a temple built during the reign of King Prasat Thong in 2173. Originally, the area where this temple is located was the residence of his mother who passed away before King Prasat Thong ascended the throne. When he ascended the throne, he built Wat Chaiwatthanaram to dedicate the merit to his mother. Another reason is that this temple may have been built as a memorial to the victory over the Khmer, so some of its architectural styles are based on Angkor Wat. 🙏🙏🙏 #Wat Chaiwatthanaram #Ayutthaya temple #Ayutthaya Historical Park #Travel around Thailand #Visit Ayutthaya #Been there sharetostories

It once annexed the Sukhothai Dynasty, the Lanna Kingdom, and even played with the Angkor Kingdom.
