First place to visit: Wat Yai Chaimongkhon Temple. This is the biggest pagoda in the whole of Ayutthaya. Also known as “The Monastery of Auspicious Victory”, it is where we will make merit together!

The next place we'll go to is Wat Ratchaburana Temple. This is where the tomb lies, and where tremendous treasures are thought to be stored.

Tourists from around the world also come to Wat Maha That Temple to see Buddha's head, entwined in the roots of a Bodhi tree. The ruins was where the kingdom's Supreme King lived. There is also a huge pagoda which stores the relics of the Lord Buddha.

Local Tuk-Tuk ride in Ayutthaya! Let's try riding in them, and compare the difference from Bangkok Tuk Tuks to the ones here! It's still as fun, if not more fun, though :p

The last two temples we'll visit are Wat Phra Sri Sanphet Temple and Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit, which is in Wat Phra Sri Sanphet area. Here consists the three large bell shaped stupas (or chedis) standing on an elevated platform. It was a Royal Temple without resident monks in the Grand Palace Area. Feel free to take pictures!
