- Wat Yai Chai Mong Khon - Wat Yai Chai Mong Khon is renowned globally, having been designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1991. It holds great significance as it houses one of the eight great stupas of the nation, boasting the tallest stupa on Ayutthaya Island at 62.10 meters.
- Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan - Constructed in 1324, Wat Phanan Choeng predates the Ayutthaya Kingdom by about 26 years. As one of Ayutthaya’s oldest temples, it has been pivotal in Thai religious history.
The temple is famous for its large seated Buddha image, Luang Pho Tho, which stands approximately 19 meters tall. This statue is revered by both Thai and Chinese devotees, known among the Chinese as “Sam Pao Kong.”
Legend links the temple to a Chinese princess named Soi Dok Mak, who tragically died before marrying a Siamese king. The temple was subsequently built on a site associated with her story.
Unlike many Ayutthaya temples, Wat Phanan Choeng was spared during the Burmese invasion in 1767. As a result, it remains well-preserved and continues to be an active temple, attracting numerous visitors and worshippers today.
- Wat Mahathat - Built in the late 14th century, Wat Mahathat is renowned for once housing the great holy relics of Lord Buddha in its central prang tower. It is also famous for the sandstone Buddha head entwined in a tree’s roots, a highlight of Ayutthaya province.
- Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the most significant royal temple in the Ayutthaya Kingdom, constructed in the 15th century within the Royal Palace grounds for exclusive royal ceremonies, without resident monks.
The temple is distinguished by its three large chedis (stupas), built to enshrine the ashes of Ayutthaya kings, including King Borommatrailokanat and his successors. These chedis symbolize the temple and the kingdom’s power.
Heavily damaged during the Burmese invasion of Ayutthaya in 1767, the temple now lies in ruins. However, the remains of the three chedis still stand, making it one of Ayutthaya’s most renowned historical sites today.
