• Wat Chaiwatthanaram - Constructed in the 1600s, Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a historic temple from the era when Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand. It was used for various ceremonies but suffered destruction during the 1700s war with the Burmese army (now Myanmar), leading to its ruin. Today, the park’s walkways and structures are well-preserved, allowing visitors to explore and capture photos while enjoying the serene atmosphere of the ancient, deserted city. At the entrance, Thai national costumes are available for rent (for a fee), enabling visitors to wander the grounds in elegant attire, complete with a parasol.
• Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Explore Wat Phra Si Samphet, established in the late 1400s within the Ayutthaya Royal Palace. Once a thriving site, it was also destroyed by the Burmese army, leaving its buildings and Buddha statues in ruins. The Thai Royal Palace buildings in Bangkok are said to be meticulously reconstructed based on the original layout of this site before its destruction, offering a glimpse into the historical transition from Ayutthaya to modern Thailand.
• Wat Mahathat - Wat Mahathat was once adorned with temples and structures whose peaks gleamed with gold. Now a site of ruins, it offers a unique view where trees envelop the head of a fallen Buddha statue over time. This area is now a park, where visitors can rent bicycles or enjoy an elephant ride around the grounds.
• บ้านอยุธยา Bistro Ayutthaya - For a delightful lunch, visit Bang Ayutthayarom, a Thai restaurant located on the Chao Phraya River. It offers riverside seating and chic, air-conditioned indoor dining. Guests can savor authentic Thai cuisine, including the renowned charcoal-grilled river shrimp and Thai-style ankake-yaki oysters. The river shrimp, notably large and reminiscent of a blend between shrimp and crab, is a must-try. While it’s common to enjoy it with spicy Thai seafood sauce, sprinkling it with salt is also recommended to enhance the natural flavors.
• Wat Phu Khao Thong (Golden Mount) - Discover Wat Phu Khao Thong, an 80-meter-high temple known as the “Golden Pagoda Temple.” Visitors can climb the central pagoda via stairs, but caution is advised due to their narrow and steep nature. Those uncomfortable with heights should avoid looking back while ascending and aim to reach the top in one go. At the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Ayutthaya’s cityscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan - Wat Panangchoon, believed to predate the Ayutthaya dynasty, houses a magnificent 19-meter golden Buddha. This temple remains a popular destination for worshippers, as it miraculously survived numerous invasions and attacks by the Burmese army. It features Chinese-style decorations and hosts various prayer events and fortune slip drawings.
