Ayutthaya’s attractions have fascinating architectural styles ranging from early Sukhothai to Khmer designs. This is reflected in the Wat Phra Si Sanphet, which is the city’s largest temple and has a row of chedis (Thai stupas).
The large bronze image of Buddha at the Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit is worth a visit. Saffron-robed images of Buddha and golden-clothed chedis are equally fascinating at the stunning Wat Yai Chaimongkon. The city’s largest bronze Buddha statue, adorned in full royal garments, is at the Wat Nah Phra Meru.
The Wat Phra Mahathat has a Buddha head surrounded by a tree. This Wat also has rows of headless Buddhas. The Chao Sam Phrya Museum or the Chandra Kasem Palace Museum (housing Thai Buddhist art) is another must-visit.
Other attractions include the Monument of King Naresuan The Great, which is a large bronze image of the ruler atop a horse, and the picturesque Wat Phu Khao Thong.
