Wat Na Phra Meru, an artistic and historical heritage of Ayutthaya

Wat Na Phra Meru Ratchikaram Worawihan is located on the bank of Khlong Srabue, north of the moat, opposite the Royal Palace in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. This temple is one of the few temples that survived the destruction during the fall of Ayutthaya, so the architecture and art within the temple are still intact and beautiful. Highlights of the place: - Ancient Ubosot: Inside is enshrined "Phra Phutthanimitwichitmaramoli Si Sanphet Borommatrailokanat", a beautiful and sacred Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya attitude. - Front gable arch: Visitors are often allowed to pass through to ward off bad luck and bring good fortune. - Phra Khanthararat: A Buddha statue in the Dvaravati style that is over 1,500 years old. Opening hours: Daily from 08:00 to 17:00 Admission fee: Free How to get there: - Car: From Bangkok, take Highway No. 1 (Phahonyothin) and then Highway No. 32 (Asia Road), then turn onto Highway No. 309 to enter Ayutthaya city. - Train: Take the Northern Line from Hua Lamphong Station, get off at Ayutthaya Station, then take a tuk-tuk or motorcycle taxi to the temple. A visit to Wat Na Phra Meru Ratchikararam is a great opportunity to experience the history and art of Ayutthaya, and bring good fortune to your life. #tripพาบินขอภพปีใหม่
