An important ancient temple in Ayutthaya, beautiful with ancient sites, namely the white Phu Khao Thong pagoda, which stands out and can be seen from a distance. There are long white stairs leading to the top of the pagoda, with a terrace where you can see the view of the rice fields. It is considered an unusual pagoda because normally when thinking of temples in Ayutthaya, you are familiar with the image of ancient temples made of brick. In addition, inside the temple there are also ancient sites made of brick that are equally beautiful. #Central Region Team

Wat Saket Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan or Wat Saket is an ancient temple since the Ayutthaya period. It used to be called Wat Sakae. Later, King Rama I ordered the renovation and dug a canal around the temple and gave it a new name, Wat Saket, which means to cleanse the hair. This is because this temple used to be the place for the Phra Krayasan (bathing) ceremony when he returned from Cambodia to quell the rebellion in Thonburi and ascended the throne in 1782. Inside the temple, there are sacred objects for us to pay homage to and worship. From the moment we enter the temple, we will see the Ubosot hall where a large principal Buddha image in a meditation posture is enshrined. The walls around the Ubosot hall are decorated with paintings of angels, the Four Guardian Deities, the life story of the Buddha during the Mara's victory, the Ten Lives of the Lord Buddha, and the Traibhumi. It is a beautiful sight that makes you feel full. Very comfortable Location: Wat Srakes Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan, 344 Chakkraphat Road, Ban Bat Subdistrict, Pom Prap Sattru Phai District, Bangkok

Wat Phu Khao Thong, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, is about 2 kilometers from the original Ayutthaya Royal Palace. Although the surrounding area is a Buddhist site, Wat Phu Khao Thong is still a strategic location that played an important role in the Thai-Burmese war. The temple is named after the 90-meter-high Phu Khao Thong pagoda. According to the Ayutthaya Chronicles, Wat Phu Khao Thong was established during the reign of King Ramesuan in the early Ayutthaya period during the war in which King Bayinnaung of Burma won over Ayutthaya when the capital was lost for the first time in 2112. King Bayinnaung ordered the construction of a Mon-Burmese pagoda on top of the temple's original pagoda as a memorial to the victory over the Thai army. However, it is believed that only the southern base was built. When King Naresuan regained independence in 2127, he ordered the construction of a Thai-style pagoda on top of the Mon-Burmese base, resulting in a mixture of architectural styles. Inside, there is a small chapel. The main chapel in front has four twelve-sided recessed chedis. However, after the fall of Ayutthaya for the second time, Wat Phu Khao became a deserted temple, just like the whole of Ayutthaya. However, people from all over the country still travel to pay homage to the great chedi, as seen in Sunthorn Phu’s Nirat Phu Khao Thong during the reign of King Rama III. It was not until 1957 that monks resided at this temple again. The Fine Arts Department built a monument of King Naresuan on a war horse in the middle of the road leading to the temple to honor the warrior king who restored independence. Open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Wat Phu Khao Thong is an ancient temple in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. #Wat Phu Khao Thong is assumed to have been built during the reign of King Ramesuan in 1387. There is a large pagoda called Phu Khao Thong Pagoda. Phu Khao Thong Pagoda is a large pagoda about 90 meters high, located in the middle of a rice field, which can be used to spot enemies from afar. In 1569, King Bayinnaung of Hanthawaddy successfully led his army to invade Ayutthaya. Therefore, a large Mon-style pagoda was built as a memorial at this temple. During the reign of King Borommakot, the pagoda was renovated and changed from a Mon pagoda to a twelve-tiered pagoda that was popular at that time. The base is in the Mon style. The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, in collaboration with the Fine Arts Department, built a royal monument of King Naresuan the Great on horseback in front of Wat Phu Khao Thong, near the royal monument of Queen Suriyothai that the Department of Public Works had built earlier. It is believed that this area was originally an open field where enemy troops were stationed. And there were many elephant battles in many eras. I must say that this temple is very peaceful. There are not many tourists. I recommend that my friends try to visit Wat Phu Khao Thong in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province because this is an ancient site with a long history. It is worth studying and learning about. #Secret location #Visit Ayutthaya temples #Ayutthaya old city #Visit Ayutthaya

The temple is open everyday, with entrance fee of 50 baht for foreigners. #wintergetaway
