Ayutthaya Thailand

Hello everyone. Today I have a suggestion for travel. This is Ayutthaya Thailand.
Ayutthaya Thailand founded in 1350 by King Ramathibodi I, Ayutthaya grew from a small town with mud walls on an artificial island on the Chao Phraya River into one of the largest it was the center of Thai power for more than 400 years. Ayutthaya it is an ancient city and a very attractive place.
First place I will show you is Wat Phar Mahathat. Wat Phra Mahathat is believed to be one of Ayutthaya’s oldest temples, possibly built by King Boromaraja I. Its central prang, of which only the base remains, was once 165 feet tall. Traces of the original stucco can still be seen on some of the surrounding chedis.
Second place is Wat Raja Burana. Wat Raja Burana was constructed in 1424 by King Boromaraja II, one the site where two princes had killed one another in a duel on elephant-back. The king first built two chedis and later a far more imposing temple surrounded by a wall, with monumental gateways, a towering prang on a stepped platform and numerous smaller prangs and chedis.
Next is Wat Phra Si SanPhet. Wat phra Si Sanphet dating from 1491, Wat Pha Si Sanphet was located inside the compound of king’s palace the foundations of which are still visible and served as the royal chapel, as Wat Phra Keo does in Bangkok. The three main chedis, although poorly restored, contain the ashes of three Ayutthaya kings, and the extent of the temple’s ruins attests to its former spendor.
Next is Wat Chai Wattanaram. Wat Chai Wattanaram built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong, Wat Chai Wattanaram was conceived as a replica of an Angkorain temple, with a huge prang surrounded by smaller ones, symbolizing Mount Meru, the abode of the heavenly gods. Now restored, the temple has lost much of its former charm.
Next is Wat Phanan Choeng. Facing the main city from across the river, this landmark with five prangs has been tidily restored. Built shortly before Ayuttaya became capital, it is now a major stop on boat cruises. The main building enshrines a huge seated Buddha image, 57 feet tall, the object of particular devotion to Thais of Chinese descent.
Next is Wat Yai Chai Mongkol. A lofty chedi dominates Wat Yai Chai Mongkol on the opposite side of the river. It was given its name by King Naresuan to commemorate a battle fought against the Crown Prince of Burma in 1592. Naresuan’s victory brought independence to Ayuttaya after 15 years as a Burmese vassal. In the complex is also a huge image of a reclining Buddha in brick and stucco.
Last place is Wat Phar Ram. Though founded in 1396, the ruins of Wat Phra Ram date mostly from its restoration in the 15th century. Its main feature is a well-proportioned prang that stands on a stepped terrace adorned with chedis. Some of the prang’s stucco decorations of walking and standing Buddhas still remain.
