Reviewed By Nyunt_Eugene - Chachoengsao, Thailand

This is certainly a very beautiful temple with a lot of wall art inside the main building, and a magnificent statue of the seated ဗုဒ္ဓ at one end of the hall. Behind the main hall is a very well-preserved chedi with a lot of ช้าง/ဆင် symbolism.

Ancient City (Mueang Boran)

One of the world’s largest outdoor museums features a 200-acre city with 109 scaled-down copies of Thailand’s most famous monuments and architectural attractions.

Reviewed By mshian63 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Samut Prakan is located around 40km south east of Bangkok and it is a nice place for one day trip. The Muang Boran Ancient City is a place we must visit in this area. It is a very big museum park occupying over 200 acres in the shape of Thailand. The museum features more than 100 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. These monuments are built and located geographically following the shape of Thailand. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down. Since the park is too big to be covered by foot, it is advisable to rent the buggy which can carry 4 persons. We can operate the buggy on our own and we took 4 hours to cover the museum. For a more detail viewing of the museum may take up to 6 hours. There are many beatiful structures in nice surroundings for photography. Other places of interest that can be included in this day trip are the nice Wat Asokaram (temple), watching many sea gulls at Bangpu Recreation Centre, the huge reclining Buddha of Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang and the giant three headed elephant statue at Erawan Museum.

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.

Wat Mahathat

Reviewed By PerryB137 - Hong Kong, China

This was a particularly interesting Wat at which to take photos and pore through one's guidebooks in order to reconstruct the fascinating history of both the ruins and the extant structures.
