Wat Mahathat (built in 1374), “the temple of the Great Relic”, was one of the most important temples in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It enshrined Buddha relics and was the seat of the Supreme Patriarch of Buddhism and thus the center of Buddhism in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It was a Royal monastery located close to the palace. The King performed important ceremonies here. When the Burmese invaded and largely destroyed Ayutthaya in 1767, Wat Mahathat was set on fire. One of Thailand’s most photographed objects can be found at Wat Mahathat: the head of a stone Buddha image entwined in the roots of a tree

Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon-Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, or "Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory". Its distinguishing feature is the high prang (tower) dominating the area. The temple is old and was built in the second half of the 14th century during the reign of King U Thong. Interestingly, it is still active and monks live in it. The current name of the monastery was acquired at the end of the 16th century, when a large chedi was built. In the northeast, you can see a large statue of the Reclining Buddha wrapped in yellow cloth, facing east towards the rising sun. Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, like many other buildings in the area, was destroyed during the invasion in 1767. Great place and worth visiting.

Wat Chaiwatthanaram is one of the most impressive ancient temples in Ayutthaya. It was built in Khmer style in 1630 during the reign of King Prasat Thong to make-merit for his mother. During its heyday, Wat Chaiwatthanaram was an important royal temple where the king and his descendants performed religious rites and it was also used as a cremation site for various members of royalty. The whole structure of the monastery is supposed to represent the Buddhist view of the world; the central prang is about 35 meters tall and represents Mount Meru. It is surrounded by small spires (representing continents and oceans) decorated with relief sculptures depicting the life of Buddha. Like many of the Buddha images in Ayutthaya, most of them have had their heads lopped off following the fall of the city to Burmese invaders in 1767. When the Burmese besieged Ayutthaya, the temple served as an army camp, but was abandoned when the city eventually fell

Wat Lokaya Sutha (or Wat Lokayasutharam), “the temple of the Earth”, is famous because of its 42 meters long and 8 meters high Reclining Buddha image (“Phra Buddha Sai Yat”), usually draped in orange cloth. Little is known about this monastery’s history. Since it is located close to the Royal Palace it was probably an important temple. Its founding date is unknown; judging from the style of the main prang which is constructed in the same style as Wat Ratchaburana and Wat Mahathat, it is believed that the temple dates back from the early Ayutthaya period

Ayothaya Floating Market serves as a tourism hub for both domestic and international tourists to enjoy the pleasant environment and gorgeous scenery in a Thai style.
