Travel to Thailand 🇹🇭 Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya

#Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand City Attractions #Ayutthaya Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya was built in 1374 during the Sukhothai Dynasty. It was one of the earliest Khmer pagodas built in Ayutthaya, with a total of 198 pagodas. Unfortunately, in 1767, Ayutthaya was invaded and destroyed by Myanmar, and only the ruins of Wat Mahathat were left, with only a few complete Buddha statues left. The most famous and popular attraction at Wat Mahathat is of course the "Head of Buddha in the Tree". The Buddha's head looks calm and composed, blending into the fig tree. You must not miss this wonder when traveling to Ayutthaya. ❗️Do not step on the platforms around the temple pagoda. When taking photos of the "Buddha Head in the Tree", please squat down to show respect. ✅Detailed address: Wat Mahathat, Naresuan Rd, Tambon Tha Wa Su Kri, Amphoe Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Chang Wat Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya ✅Opening hours: 8am to 6pm ✅Visit fee: 50 baht
