Ayutthaya, a World Heritage City near Bangkok

I will introduce you to Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Bangkok. Ayutthaya was the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Although it was destroyed a lot by the invasion of Myanmar, many beautiful ruins remain today, making it a popular place for tourists. ✔️How to get from Bangkok to Ayutthaya -Day tour You can comfortably visit major attractions without worrying about transportation with a guided tour. However, since it is a group activity, there is no free time and time is limited. -Train It takes an hour and a half from Bangkok Hualimpong Train Station to Ayutthaya Train Station. You can buy train tickets on site or reserve them in advance on the SRTD-Ticket Internet. -Taxi & Minivan You can arrive at Ayutthaya in an hour by taking a minivan departing from Mo Chit Bus Terminal in Bangkok. If you want to ride to the desired location, you can take a taxi, but it is the most expensive. ✔️Places to visit in Ayutthaya -Wat Yai Chaimongkol Wat Yai Chaimongkol's Yai Chaimongkol is said to have been built to commemorate the victory in the war against Myanmar, with the meaning of a great victory. Here, you can see a huge chedi designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes, including a huge reclining Buddha. -Wat Mahatan This is a famous temple with a decapitated Buddha's head wrapped in bodhi tree roots. It is estimated to have been built around 1370 and was said to have been a royal monastery and the spiritual center of the city. It was restored and expanded several times, but collapsed in 1904. After restoration work conducted by the Department of Culture and Arts in 1956, important relics are now displayed in other museums. -Wat Chaiwatthanaram This is a Khmer-style temple built by King Prasat Thong around 1630 as a royal monastery for himself and his descendants, and it is a temple where religious ceremonies and presidential ceremonies were held. It was continuously restored and repaired until the Burmese invaded in 1767, but the invasion It was not restored and was the target of looting. It is said that the current appearance is the appearance after the Thai Fine Arts Department began restoration work in 1987. #Travel itinerary #Travel near Bangkok #Ayutthaya travel
