Traveling to Ayutthaya with Lisa
We set off early in the morning for Ayutthaya, a World Heritage city next to Bangkok.🗺️
Lisa's previous visit and photoshoot📸 brought considerable attention to this city, but after doing some research🔍, I found out that this was once the capital of the Siamese dynasty, full of historical relics, including one of Thailand's seven wonders - the Buddha head entwined in tree roots.

✨Ayutthaya Attractions✨
🎟️The entrance fees are around 50 baht, which is cost-effective. I recommend choosing a few key places to visit.
.
🍜Don't worry about getting hungry, there are many street snacks.
👗There are many costume rental shops, the price is about 200-300 baht for a whole day💄Makeup is about 100 baht, but after seeing the makeup of other girls😨, it's hard to say, I recommend doing your own makeup and just renting the costume.

🕍Wat Mahathat
✨Lisa's same check-in spot, also one of the Buddha heads entwined in tree roots📸When taking photos with the Buddha head, you should sit down to show respect
📍The temple is located in the center of the city, convenient for going to other places, can be used as the first stop of the tour.

🕍Wat Ratchaburana
It's just across from the Buddha head entwined in tree roots🚶🏻♂️Two minutes walk, the entrance has a grand visual effect, but the inside is quite ordinary.
.
🕍Wat Chaiwatthanaram
📺The filming location of the TV series 'Destiny in Pair', there are many tourists, the tallest pagoda in Ayutthaya is also here, an astonishing 79 meters, the visual impact is really strong. It's also a great place to take photos in Thai costume~

Most of the Buddha statues here are well preserved🙏🏻The incense is very strong~It's also the filming location of the TV series 'Journey to the West' and the movie 'Lost in Thailand', these two works have a wider audience in China📷It's also a place where many Chinese tourists visit.
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

Came on February 6, 2023. Mahathir Temple and some other ancient relics in the surrounding area are collectively called "Dacheng Historical and Cultural Park", and Mahathir Temple is a relatively large-scale relics in the "park". Come to Mahathir Temple, the ruins are sad, and tourists can feel the war on civilization very intuitively. Mahatai Temple also has a very famous landscape, that is, the "tree cradling Buddha head" in the southeast corner of the temple, close to watch, it is really moving... May there be less strife in the world, more understanding and tolerance!
One of Ayutthaya’s magnificent historical creations gives a mesmerizing glimpse to the people of today. I can suggest this place is a must to visit if you are planning to travel to Thailand.
