The Ayutthaya Royal Palace, located in Ayutthaya, Thailand, was the capital of the former Siam Kingdom and holds rich historical and cultural value. This magnificent palace blends traditional Thai architectural styles, featuring exquisite Buddhist temples and carvings that showcase its former glory. Visitors can admire grand architectural complexes such as Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Ratchaburana, and Wat Phra Mongkhon Bophit. These sites are not only centers of religious faith but also treasures of art and architecture. Surrounding the palace, there are many ancient ruins and museums that provide a deeper understanding of this historic city.

Today I had the opportunity to visit the ancient palace in the Ayutthaya Historical Park, which was about one or two days after the rain. The grass was lush and green, giving a very refreshing feeling. I recommend that those who don't like hot weather visit after the rain for a day or two for a great atmosphere. I visited the 80-year-old or more jujube tree and the important royal palace, which even though only the foundation remains, still shows the greatness and beauty of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Today I will take you to see the Phra Thinang Wihan Somdet. If anyone comes, don't forget to stop by and take a look. #Mong takes you there #Murals #Visiting historical sites

Wat Mai Chaiyawichit is located in the Ayutthaya Historical Park, on the northern side of the island of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, along the Lop Buri River. It used to be an area on the outskirts of the city, meaning it was the area between the Royal Palace and the Lop Buri River. There was an ancient road paved with bricks called "Thanon Pratu Din", which ran from Fort Pak Tho parallel to the palace wall to the watercourse of Tha Wasukri, which was the royal palace's residence. Therefore, the construction of Wat Mai Chaiyawichit was built over the ancient road and some of the temple walls were built over the walls of the Royal Palace. "Chaiyawichit" was the royal title of the governor of the old capital in the early Rattanakosin period. When King Rama I was crowned, he elevated the old capital to a fourth-tier city. His Majesty appointed Mr. Bunnak of Ban Mae La as the first governor of the old capital, with the title of "Chao Phraya" and the royal title of "Chaiyawichit Sitsongkhram". It is believed that Wat Mai Chaiyawichit was built during the reign of King Rama III. #Mongpapai #Murals #VisitHistoricSite Information from Wiki

The ancient palace of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, which was an important location during the Ayutthaya period as the capital city, was the residence of the king and the royal family. It was again the center and the heart of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Due to the war and defeat, the various buildings in the ancient palace were almost completely lost, leaving only traces of the past that showed the greatness and the ultimate prosperity of art and culture. Although only the bases of the palaces of the various throne halls remain, you can still feel the greatness and beauty that shows the prosperity of the ancestors of the Thai people. #Mongpapai #VisitHistoricalSite #Murals

King Prajadhipok made an offering to the former great king at Phlap Phla Trimuk, Ayutthaya Palace. It is unknown when Phlap Phla Trimuk was built or when it was destroyed. Only the remains of the base were found. During the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V of the Rattanakosin period, he ordered the construction of Phlap Phla Trimuk to perform the royal ceremony to pay homage to the ancestors on the occasion of his 40th anniversary of the reign in 1908, which was as long as Phra Borommatrailokanat of Ayutthaya. #Mongpapai #VisitHistoricalSite #MuralPainting

Today I had the opportunity to visit the ancient palace in the Ayutthaya Historical Park. When I arrived, I went straight to Phlap Phla Trimuk because the rainy season had just passed. The grass around the pavilion was very green and beautiful. I was not disappointed. Then I walked around to see the surrounding atmosphere, whether it was the Phra Thinang Wihan Somdet or the jujube trees inside the ancient palace. The atmosphere was very peaceful and beautiful. If you come in the morning, it is cool and comfortable. But if you come at noon, I recommend bringing an umbrella because the weather will be a bit hot. But if you come in the evening, the atmosphere may be a bit desolate, but it is beautiful in another way. #Mong takes you to #Visit ancient sites #Murals

Wat Phra Si Sanphet and its surrounding areas, in addition to the old Bodhi tree, also have many large crabapple trees. It looks very majestic. If you come in the morning, the sunlight will be soft gold. At noon, the sun may be strong, but it gives a different kind of good picture. If you come in the evening, it may be desolate, but the pictures are very beautiful. If you come to visit Ayutthaya, don't forget to stop by the ancient palace and take pictures with the crabapple tree. #Mong takes you to #Visit historical sites #Murals

Phra Thinang Chom Thong, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province is one of the royal palaces in the area of ​​Wat Phra Si Sanphet. It is located to the northeast of the Royal Vihara. There is no evidence of when it was built. Its style is in the late Ayutthaya period, similar to Phra Thinang Kham Yat in Ang Thong. Most people who visit Wat Phra Si Sanphet will walk around the three chedis. If you have free time and are not too tired, walk to the front of the Phra Si Sanphet Vihara and you will see Phra Thinang Chom Thong on the right. It is very large and you cannot guess how beautiful it is. You can only imagine how beautiful it is. Please come visit. #Mong takes you to #Visiting historical sites #Murals
