Sriautthaya Lion Park is a unique and exciting wildlife attraction located in Thailand, offering visitors the chance to get up close with majestic lions and other animals. The park is designed to provide an immersive experience where guests can interact with these incredible creatures in a safe and controlled environment.
had an absolutely wonderful experience! It was beautiful and impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere.What stood out the most was how healthy and well-cared-for all the animals looked, which is a testament to the staff’s hard work and compassion.It’s clear they prioritize the well-being of the animals. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful and heartwarming visit.

Very shocking ruins, although only 400 years old, but full of vicissitudes. If you don't want to spend money, you can take pictures outside and leave. Or walk into the alley behind the temple, which can satisfy all your imaginations of giant phobia (people with this disease may be scared to death if they go there at night)
I have been to all four famous temples in Ayutthaya. I have been to Wat Chai twice and will go again. It is the most photogenic, most worthwhile and most convenient scenic spot. The coffee shop at the entrance has the most beautiful scenery. You can just sit in the coffee shop for a day without going in.

My friend and I had an unforgettable experience at Bang Pa-In Palace. We had rented a kart so we could easily get around. But we lost the kart and spent the rest of the time looking for our kart. I will never forget this experience at Bang Pa-In Palace 😅🤣
Came on February 6, 2023. This palace is the palace of the Thai royal family. The location is probably on the way to the big city in Bangkok, so it is often arranged for a day trip to the big city. This attraction is still worth seeing. The area here is 46 acres (about 18.62 10,000 square meters), which is slightly smaller than the Grand Palace, but it is a palace, so the layout is more empty and it feels more relaxed. The Bangbayin Summer Palace can be traced back to the 17th century, but the architectural style here is very diverse, from ancient Thailand to modern Western, and even there are Chinese classic style buildings, which are really seen. After entering the park, tourists generally rent a review car, you can stroll around leisurely, if you don't stay in one place for too long, it will take more than half an hour to visit the entire yard. Another noteworthy thing is that there are requirements for tourists to dress here, and you can refer to the standards of the Grand Palace. If you don't wear suitable clothes, there are also shops in the parking lot at the entrance that can be bought on the spot, and the price is not expensive.

During the day always crowded by tourists coming with bus tour, but in the evening it is calm. Worth it to visit, give angkor wat feeling, different temples (active and non-active)
If you’d like to escape the city , this is the place to go. This ancient city is located one hour from Bangkok.

Wat Phra Mahathat, Thailand, was a royal temple of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It is one of the oldest and most significant temples in the history of Ayutthaya as it housed the Buddha's holy relic. Many important royal ceremonies of the Ayutthaya era had been hosted here. When the Ayutthaya Kingdom failed in 1767, Wat Phra Mahathat was severely damaged by fire and was since abandoned. The temple is located in the area of the Ayutthaya Historical Park nowadays. Attractions in Wat Phra Mahathat of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya include remains of important old buildings such as pagodas, octagonal pagodas, royal hall, small temples, murals under a Bodhi tree, and the famous sand-stone Ayutthaya-style head of the Buddha image in a tree's root.
The famous Buddha face sat on the tree trunk is here. no doubt the biggest attractions but on overall, the ruin of the gigantic temple is also amazing
