Top 8 Monuments & Statues in Ayutthaya, Ayutthaya Province
Built just to the east of the spectacular ruins of the capital of the Ayutthaya kingdom, a Siamese power destroyed by Burmese invasion in the 18th century, Ayutthaya is a modern Thai city studded with archeological wonders. Headless Buddhas and crumbling but still-beautiful reliquary towers and wats give evidence of the majesty of the civilization that was once centered here.

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.

We approached this reclining Buddha on foot, from behind, and wow! We could not believe how huge it was, and that there was almost no one there! It's a bit of a farther walk from Wat Mahathat, but so worth it! It is worth the effort, as you may have Buddha all to yourself. There are several snack and souvenir stands nearby. Enjoy!

I have never heard of both this monument and King Naresuan before and was very suprise to find this impressive tall monument at the entrance to Wat Phu Khao Thong. The King's statue on a horse reminding me of similar impressive monuments in Zhejiang Province, China. What a great way to remember and commemorate the King and his bravery.
