Wat Mahathat

* . 🚀 . I went to Ayutthaya after a long time and I have to thank my Chinese relatives who searched for tourist attractions and took me there within that night. They said, "I want to come here (here refers to all the temples in Ayutthaya)." So, we had to change our plans abruptly. At first, we were going to visit the temples around Ratchaburi <near home>, but then we separated from other relatives and went on our own. We took our relatives to visit the old city instead (亲人 qīnrén means relatives). Please pray for my little sister, lol. 5555555 ♡ We traveled by private car from home (van) and it was an Oneday tour! It's not an illegal tour, lol. We even had a guide with us. 555555555 (just kidding, this was a private trip with family and we didn't receive any payment, so it doesn't count as income) ♡ The weather was so hot and humid when we arrived. It was raining heavily before we got there, but the rain stopped when we arrived. Then it turned into a scorching heat. However, our relatives were so determined and didn't care about the heat. They just kept walking and walking. We had to give up 😭. After we finished walking, we sat down and enjoyed some delicious durian (the durian was brought from home and just harvested from the orchard). But it was already afternoon by the time we finished walking. The trip was over! 🥑 Actually, we only went to visit the Mahathat temple. 555555 Because we didn't know if other relatives were Buddhist or not. Our relatives told us that they didn't worship the Buddha in the afternoon, so we stopped there. Then we went to Window shopping elsewhere. * We left Ratchaburi at 8 am and arrived in Ayutthaya after 3 hours. We visited the temple, had lunch, went back to Bangkok, checked into the hotel, went shopping, and then watched the "Ladyboy Show (人妖表演 Rényāo biǎoyǎn)." Finally, we ended the day by going for a walk, drinking milk tea, having dinner, and returning to the hotel. It was a great day! ꈍ◡ꈍ #Ayutthaya #AyutthayaAttractions #AyutthayaOldCity #TravelToAyutthaya #PhraNakhonSiAyutthaya #AyutthayaTempleTour

There is historical park at Ayutthaya. It’s a beautiful temple in Thailand.#temple #thailand #ayutthaya #passionpassport #staycation

If you are tired of walking around the trail, there are several cafes across from Wat Mahathat and Wat Ratchaburana. Today we choosed one of the popular restaurant Prang View Cafe. Oh my! They served really good foods and drinks. 在遣跡走倦了，在Wat Mahathat 和 Wat Ratchaburana 的對面就有好幾間 cafe。 最後我們選了人氣餐廳 Prang View Cafe。 果然沒令人失望。

#passionpassport This place is amazing. You could spend hours looking through the ruins imagining what they would have been like originally. There's also another entire section of temples across the road, behind where everyone else goes at the main tourist area, which is in fact more intact, and it's only a two minute walk to the next block, where there are no tourists at all. This place is truly an amazing temple complex and it covers a very large area. It's located right next to one of the main streets of town, so easy to get a drink, meal or tuk-tuk nearby also. Entry to the main park is 10 baht. As part of the Ayutthaya Historical Park, it is highly recommended to add this place to your list of places to visit in Thailand, and there's another eight or nine temple complexes within spitting distance! You could literally spend a week looking at them all. It is only an hour and twenty minutes from Bangkok by taxi and expect to pay around 2,000 baht☺️ If you find a good English-speaking taxi driver, they'll even give you a guided tour and get you around town.

#passionpassport Ayutthaya is a rich history and developing modern culture make Ayutthaya a fascinating place to visit such as Wat Mahathat is also one of the Historical Landmarks of Thailand. Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan became the principal temple of Nakhon Si Thammarat, the capital of Tambralinga, the sovereign state in Southern Peninsula of Thailand in the early 13th to mid-14th century CE. The principal stupa, Phra Borommathat Chedi, was built in the early 13th century. Nowdays, it is amazing place for visiting, learning and knowing more about the history of the Siam and the Buddhist of the past.

When you travel here don't forget to put sunscreen and bring sun protective gear like umbrella and cap. the place is a massive ancient civilization during the Ayutthaya period. #ancient #temple #themepark

Among the many interesting temples in this complex, Wat Phra Mahathat (Temple of the Great Relics) is one of temple that caught my attention the most. It turned out this temple is located almost in the middle of the Ayutthaya Historical Park island complex. And only in this temple we can see the very famous Buddha in an unusual pose. How did the Buddha head entwined within the roots of a tree? Nobody knows exactly. Perhaps the mystery and speculation is part of the fascination that draws all tourists who visit the temple each year. FYI, to get to Ayutthaya you can directly buy tickets on the spot at Hua Lamphong Station (Bangkok Train Station) #summervacation

One of the most important temples in Ayutthaya is Wat Phra Mahathat. It’s once glorious temple but still glorious standing today imagining the colorful place this temple was before. History is very rich that you can feel the atmosphere of the place. They said that the Buddha head is stolen by someone and forgotten that the bayan tree swallowed it and stays there for centuries. it’s like you the robbers cannot steal from them anymore.... Before I can only see the image of Buddha head in the tree roots on postcard, images on internet but now I see it and take my own photo of the Buddha. Wonders in memory. #urbanexplorer #thailand #ayutthaya #bangkok #china #explorewithtony #naturelover #adventure #life #photographersdayoff #leaveyourmark

Wat Mahathat, Ayutthaya - Thailand: This royal temple is located about one hour drive from Bangkok. The iconic of this place is the head of a stone Bhudda covered by the tree’s roots which tourists always cime to see and take a photo of this.

#thailandtrip Walking through the ancient gates, I felt like I entered a peaceful and spiritually uplifting place. 🌿 This temple, famous for the Buddha head in the Bodhi tree roots, is a blend of spiritual and visual beauty. 🌅 I suggest coming early in the morning to see the sun's rays light up the temple, creating a magical atmosphere. 💫 Entrance Fee: 50 Thai Bhat Nearest Subway Station: Sanam Chai MRT Station

Wat Mahathat is one of the must-visit temples in Ayutthaya and a highlight of the temples in Ayutthaya. Experience the beauty of the temple where you can truly take photos from every angle. The evening sunlight casts beautiful light, perfect for photography. I personally love the atmosphere around four to five in the evening. It might be a bit hot, but not too much. I encourage everyone to try taking photos in the evening atmosphere; it's really beautiful 😊 Admission fee for Thai nationals is 10 baht per person. Foreigners are charged 50 baht per person.
