Wat Chai Wattanaram
You can not miss this royal temple, particularly beautiful at the end of the day. Situated on the other side of the river and facing the city of Ayutthaya, it is one of the most elaborate representations of Mount Meru in Khmer architecture.
Wat Na Phra Men
Wat Na Phra Men was the only temple that survived the fall of Ayutthaya, without suffering damage, as it was used as a military base of the Burmese army. In this temple you will find an beautiful image of Buddha that makes the visit worthwhile.
Portuguese Settlement
The "Portuguese Settlement" was probably the largest western settlement in Ayutthaya, with about 3000 people. Portugal was the first nation to settle in the city, around 1500, and the village had 3 Catholic churches, among them, the church of St. Joseph.
” The most striking thing in Thailand was the people. With such a distant culture and, often, life condition far from ideal, every day they make statment, deciding to embrace life with a smile.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Travel Blog
We decided to start our blog with Thailand because it is one of the popular destinations amongst backpackers. With time we will add many other destinations to this space.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
Wat Phra Si Sanphet, used as royal monastery from 1350 to 1448, occupies a vast area within the walls of Ayuthhaya ancient royal palace. The 3 Chedis, which contain the relics of 3 Kings, are among the few buildings that have survived the passage of time.
Wat Phanan choeng
Prior to the foundation of the Ayutthaya kingdom, Wat Phanan choeng houses an immense image of a golden Buddha, 19 meters high, that dates from 1324. The prayer ceremonies are particularly beautiful, and it is well worth waiting to witness a ritual where the believers chant prayers.
