Visit Wat Chaiwatthanaram in Ayutthaya.

Wat Chaiwatthanaram was built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong. He ordered its construction on the site of his former home to dedicate merit to his mother. However, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab speculated that the temple was built to commemorate the victory over the city of Lovek, modeled after Angkor Wat. Wat Chaiwatthanaram is a royal temple where kings have performed religious ceremonies. It has been restored in every reign and served as the cremation site for almost all royal family members. King Boromakot was also cremated here. Admission fees are 10 baht for Thais and 50 baht for foreigners. Tickets can be purchased on-site without prior reservation. Free parking is available in front of the temple for about 50 cars. If full, private parking is available for 30 baht per car. For those who want to rent traditional Thai costumes for photos, you can contact the front of the temple. Rental prices start at around 300 baht, depending on your preference. Alternatively, if you want to enjoy a coffee while viewing Wat Chaiwatthanaram from outside without paying the 10 baht entrance fee, there is an air-conditioned coffee shop nearby. You can also sit outdoors. Drinks are priced at around 70 baht per cup. 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
