Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - Renowned as Thailand’s most famous and oldest floating market, Damnoen Saduak offers a vibrant scene where colorful wooden boats navigate through winding canals. These boats are laden with fresh tropical fruits, sizzling street food, and handcrafted items.

-
Wat Mahathat - Officially known as Wat Phra Mahathat, this temple is a significant and iconic site within the Ayutthaya Historical Park. Among Ayutthaya’s historic landmarks, the most iconic image of Wat Mahathat is the Buddha’s head entwined in the roots of a banyan tree. This image is believed to have originated from a sandstone Buddha statue that fell during the temple’s destruction, with roots gradually growing around it, creating one of Ayutthaya’s most photographed and mysterious symbols.
-
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Explore the heart of Ayutthaya’s royal history at Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the most important temple of the ancient capital and a must-see in Ayutthaya Historical Park. Once part of the Royal Palace grounds, this sacred site was reserved for kings and royal ceremonies, serving as the kingdom’s spiritual center. The temple is renowned for its three iconic chedis, which rise gracefully in a row and shimmer under the sun—an image that symbolizes Ayutthaya. These stupas house the ashes of Ayutthaya kings, reflecting the power and prestige of a golden era. Although the grand hall that once contained a 16-meter golden Buddha was destroyed during the Burmese invasion, the ruins still exude majesty and mystery. Visitors can explore the ancient grounds, capture stunning photos of the striking chedis, and imagine the grandeur of a royal temple that inspired Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaew. A visit here is a journey back in time.
-
Wat Chaiwatthanaram - Experience the stunning beauty of Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of Ayutthaya’s most spectacular and photogenic temples. Constructed in 1630 by King Prasat Thong to honor his mother, the temple showcases both Thai and Khmer architectural styles, with a towering central prang surrounded by eight elegant chedis along the gallery. This riverside masterpiece was once a venue for royal ceremonies and a symbol of Ayutthaya’s power, and today it stands as one of the most visited highlights of the UNESCO-listed Historical Park. As visitors wander the expansive grounds, they will encounter intricate carvings, rows of weathered Buddha statues, and panoramic views that come alive at sunset when the temple glows in golden light. Photographers are drawn to the dramatic silhouette of the prang against the sky, while history enthusiasts are captivated by its connection to Ayutthaya’s royal past. A visit here is not just sightseeing—it’s an unforgettable journey into the grandeur, spirituality, and artistry of Thailand’s former capital.
-
Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan - As one of Ayutthaya’s oldest and most revered temples, built in 1324 before Ayutthaya became the capital, it has long served as a spiritual center for both Thai and Chinese communities, symbolizing cultural harmony. The highlights include The Giant Golden Buddha (Luang Pho To) and Chinese influences. The temple also features shrines and details reflecting Ayutthaya’s historic Chinese community. The spiritual atmosphere is enhanced by monks and worshippers often seen chanting and making offerings, allowing visitors to truly experience the living traditions of Buddhism.
