Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

First built in 1448 A.D. during the reign of King Boromtrilokanath, this is the largest temple ruin in Ayutthaya.

Reviewed By melkeet - Ipoh, Malaysia

This ruins is a part of the ancient Royal palace of Ayutthaya. The place was crowded, as it is one of the main, attractions of Ayutthaya. There are sign boards, illustrating its history and significance. The temple complex is huge and well maintained. The main exhibits here are three chedis, which contain the ashes of three Ayutthaya kings. There is also an ordination hall, and a hall were monks studied the teachings of the Buddha. The complex is surrounded by an outer wall. Lining the walls is a great number of subsidiary chedis and viharns. The place bounds to be hot, therefore carry a hat, sun lotion and lots of water. We spend about 90 minits here. This is a photographer’s paradise. Transport is available to go back. If visiting Ayutthaya, then a visit to this place is a must.

Wat Chaiwatthanaram

Considered one of the most imposing ancient Buddhist monasteries, this religious site was established by King Prasatthong in 1630 A.D. in homage to his mother.

Reviewed By hooman1020 - Tehran, Iran

Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a stunning Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, south west of the old city of Ayutthaya. The temple was constructed in 1630 (By Prasat Thong). The temple's name means "the Temple of long reign and glorious era". The royal temple was used for performing religious ceremonies. The wonderfully designed temple has architectural influences from both Hinduism & Buddhism, featuring detailed edifices, towers and extensive carvings. It has a central 35m high prang in Khmer style with four smaller prangs. The whole construction stands on a vast rectangular platform. Along the outside wall, there were many one-sized sitting Buddha statues in a row. Although Wat Chaiwatthanaram is located outside Ayutthaya Island and it is not a part of the "UNESCO World Heritage Site", but it is one of Ayutthaya's best known temples. It is a large compound part of Ayutthaya which can be reached by road or by boat. This temple was opened to public in 1992. I recommend you to go there and visit one of the most amazing temples of Ayutthaya. Some temples in the city center are crowded and noisy but this one is not so, Instead it has a calm & quiet atmosphere. Besides a pleasant feeling exists here that comes from visiting tall towers that have survived during the centuries!

Bang Pa In Palace

Reviewed By riziellr - Manila, Philippines

A nice place to visit in Ayutthaya. The present day Royal Palace is being used occassionally by the Majesties as a residence and for holding receptions and banquets. Similar to most Thai royal palaces, the compound is divided into 2 sections — the outer and inner Palace. The place is huge and it is advisable to rent a golf cart to go around and see the beauty of the mansion.

Chao Praya River

Reviewed By Travelling_SE_Asia - St. Albans, United Kingdom

Took a river boat from Wat Rajsingkorn Pier for 15 baht to Pak Klong Talat Pier (one stop from the Grand Palace). It’s lovely watching all the buildings and people go by as you’re boating up the river. Would recommended as cheap transport around attractions in Bangkok. DONOT get taxi cabs. They rip tourists off!
