Travel guide to Ayutthaya, a famous tourist city in Thailand, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Ayutthaya, Thailand is a world-famous tourist resort city, with thousands of tourists coming here for sightseeing and vacation every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide to a big city. Ayutthaya was the capital of the ancient Ayutthaya Kingdom, also known as the Ayutthaya Dynasty. Hundreds of years of prosperity and splendor have left many historical sites in Ayutthaya, which was also listed as a World Cultural Heritage in the 1990s. Ayutthaya is more like a large open-air museum, with various temples and pagoda ruins can be seen everywhere. There are package tickets for the seven or eight main attractions, which cost 220 baht and are valid for two days. Wat Mahathat, located in the center of the ancient capital, is a large-scale royal temple and the main guest of Ayutthaya. There were originally more than 200 pagodas and 10 monasteries here, but most of them are now in ruins. It is still very shocking to walk into Wat Mahathat. Those broken but still sitting Buddha statues and those dilapidated but still tall towers are all telling of its former glory. It is said that when the Burmese army captured Ayutthaya, they chopped off the head of the stone Buddha statue in the Ayutthaya Buddhist temple. One of the Buddha heads rolled to the bottom of the roots of the fig tree and was wrapped by the roots over the years, forming the now famous "Tree-embracing Buddha". Next to Wat Mahathat is Wat Ratchabunara, which is famous for its 600-year-old magnificent pagoda. Enter the temple through a very striking narrow door, you can see the pagoda, climb up the base of the pagoda, and overlook the ancient city. From time to time, bats and pigeons flew out of the tower, flew over the head, and then flew back into the tower. The scene looked very much like Tomb Raider. After leaving Lachabunarat Temple, we took a bus to Yachamengkong Temple. The temple was built in 1357 by King Uthong, the founding monarch of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, to accommodate monks from Ceylon. In the center of the temple is a pagoda that is more than 60 meters high. Walking up the long stairs and looking up at the pagoda is very spectacular. Yacha Mengkong Temple is also the filming location for the 1986 version of "A Record of the Western Regions" "The Pig Captures the Jade Rabbit" and the movie "Lost in Thailand". Some compatriots took the same stills on the spot. It is actually worth staying in Ayutthaya for one more day to fully experience the charm of this ancient capital.
