Sunset at the Golden Tower Reflects on the Chao Phraya River

Wat Chaiwatthanaram is one of Ayutthaya's most poetic temples, located along the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Its central prang stands majestically, surrounded by smaller towers. At sunset, the temple is bathed in a warm orange-red hue, creating a scene that feels frozen in time—a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Beyond capturing stunning photos, take some time to explore the handicraft stalls outside the temple. These stalls feature creative products inspired by the "silhouette of red brick towers." Among them, the "tower-shaped incense burner" made from Ayutthaya's red clay stands out with its fine texture and a fragrance infused with traditional Thai herbal notes, making it a perfect gift or personal keepsake. You’ll also find a range of items designed with "silhouettes of traditional Thai architecture," including canvas tote bags, tea sets, and miniature models. These items beautifully blend history with modernity. If you’re passionate about architecture and history, these exquisite souvenirs will make for meaningful additions to your collection, each piece carrying the timeless charm of Wat Chaiwatthanaram.
