Wat Mahathat: A place of historical and religious importance

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck “Wat Mahathat” is one of the most important temples in Ayutthaya because it enshrines the relics of the Lord Buddha. It is located in the heart of the old city, near Wat Ratchaburana. It is a temple with a long history and is of great religious significance. This temple was built during the reign of King Borommarachathirat I to enshrine the relics and to be the residence of the Supreme Patriarch. ✨ Interesting things and highlights of Wat Mahathat: - The main prang: is the identity of Wat Mahathat, enshrining the relics of the Lord Buddha. - Buddha head in tree roots: the famous image of Wat Mahathat is the Buddha head surrounded by large tree roots (the first image of this post). - Chedi Rai: there are many chedis surrounding the main prang. - Architecture: clearly demonstrates the art and culture of the Ayutthaya period. 💰Price: 10 baht per person. 💞Recommended reason: It is another important temple located in the heart of the old city, near many other temples. The architecture inside is very beautiful and interesting. If anyone comes to visit Ayutthaya, don't forget to stop by. 😊
