🚙Take a trip to Wat Cheing Tha, Ayutthaya, an ancient and beautiful temple, a national historical site
🛕Wat Cheing Tha, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. The name tells you that it must be on the riverside. Wat Cheing Tha is located on the banks of the Lop Buri River. There is no clear evidence of when it was built or who built it. During the reign of King Narai the Great, there is evidence that when Chao Phraya Kosapan was an ambassador, upon returning from France, he renovated this temple and changed its name to Wat Kosawat. The highlight of Wat Cheing Tha is that inside the temple there are beautiful late Ayutthaya period Thai art works at the Sala Karn Parian, which was built during the Rattanakosin period, around the reign of King Rama IV. 🙏🙏🙏

📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered.
In Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, there are many ancient sites. But today, we will take you to the island, along the Lopburi River, Tha Wasukri Subdistrict, which is the port area that crossed from Ayutthaya Island to the shore in ancient times. The Fine Arts Department has registered it as an ancient site.
That is "WatChengTha". This temple was once used to film a famous drama. Important things to see are the Thai-style dust-colored murals, the pulpit and the sangkhet, and the sermon hall.
