Wat Mahathat, an ancient temple from the Ayutthaya period, a cultural heritage site

Anyone who visits Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province must not forget to stop by Wat Mahathat. The entrance fee is 10 baht for Thais and 50 baht for foreigners. Wat Mahathat is located in the Ayutthaya Historical Park. It is one of the most important and historically significant temples in Thailand. When you walk into the temple, you will feel the greatness of the past with the ruins of the pagoda and ancient sites that flourished in the Ayutthaya period. **The highlight of Wat Mahathat** is **The Buddha head in the tree**, which is an amazing and unique image. The Buddha head is wrapped in large tree roots, making it look as if the tree is slowly taking care of the Buddha. It is a symbol of the connection between nature and religion. Walking around the temple gives a sense of peace and is a way to reminisce about history. In addition, the temple also has a quiet corner suitable for sitting and relaxing and taking beautiful pictures. You will see Thai and foreign tourists wearing Thai costumes to take pictures around the temple, especially in the area with the Buddha head in the tree, which often attracts tourists from all over the world. #Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya #Thai temple #triptravelasia
