The Pamahatai Temple is one of the earliest Buddhist pagodas built in the city, but now only the base is left. From the surrounding pagodas, you can see the trace of that time. The most famous scenic spot in the temple is the tree wrapped around the Buddha's head at the entrance. The smiling Buddha's head is wrapped around the roots of the old Bodhi tree, which is one of the seven wonders of Thailand. The main pagoda is a Khmer-style pagoda, which collapsed and rebuilt. After the invasion of the Burmese Army, the monastery was full of incomplete, and everywhere there were broken walls and traces of looting and destruction. It should be noted here that when taking pictures with the Buddha's head, you should remember to squat down, because in Thai Buddhist culture, the head of a person can not be higher than the head of a Buddha.

    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.

    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.
