The sight with 3 chedi's is just magical to wander around. We visited at the time of Songkran festival so there was a lot of activity and blessing but you can still get away from the crowds and just consider how magnificent it must have been in its heyday before being ransacked.

This to me is one of the biggest ruins in Ayutthaya. The site itself is very impressive and takes a good 30 minutes to walk round properly.

It's great visiting here. I love the temple that it reminds me of what had been glorious and extravagant according to the strong faith in Buddhism in the past. Imagining people in the old days come and pay respect the Buddha before the temple was burnt and destroyed, this makes me stunned and amazed. Really want to see the place... More

We we're lucky to get here early in the morning as towards the end of our visit it was becoming quite crowdy. The 3 chedis are amazing and you just can't imagine how beautiful this place must have been in it's full glory. Took our time to stroll around the place and get a good feel for it. The current...

This temple looked like all the others and didn't have much going for it. There aren't any interesting cravings or anything, just brick and Buddhas. The three stupas (Chedis) can be seen from the outside as the walls are short so save your money (60 baht). A good picture can be taken from the park right next to the ruins.

It is said to be the best preserved and most interesting from the architecure point of view..but it's not the best Wat i Ayutthaya. It's so popular that it's crowded and makes it a bit too turistic. One can't admire the place and feel the atmosphere when visiting the other less popular spots.

This was one of my favourite Wats and costs 50 bt. We also took the audio guide and it was excellent. It is only in English and gives background about the whole of Ayutthaya as well as specific to the site. It is very central to a lot of the other wats and it is easy to walk to the... More

We spent a full day going round the palaces and temples of Ayutthaya, and it was this one that was most impressive. Even in its ruined state, the symmetry of the temple complex is preserved, and the 3 chedi chambers remain impressive buildings. It was quite crowded but you can lose the people as it is a large site.

Beautiful site, because most of the building is still in a good form. But better to visit it early in the morning, because this site is a bit crowd. Many tour group comes, because this site have easy access to other sites.

We visited this site this morning. Entry costs 50B each, and my husband gave the women at the ticket booth 110B because he didn't have exactly 100B for the two of us. The women pocketed the extra money and refused to give it back! We eventually gave up because 10B is very little money, but we don't appreciate someone blatantly... More
