Wat Chai Watthanaram (Ayutthaya) (Part 2 of 2)

Wat Chai Watthanaram was a wonderful place to visit and not all of the Buddha had been decimated..

Wat Chaiwatthanaram (Thai: วัดไชยวัฒนาราม) is a Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, outside Ayutthaya island. It is one of Ayutthaya's best known temples and a major tourist attraction.

Wat Chaiwatthanaram lies on the west bank of Chao Phraya River, south west of the old city of Ayutthaya. It is a large compound part of Ayutthaya Historical Park; however not a part of Historic City of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It can be reached by road or by boat.

The Chedi were still there although there was very little else there.

There was a popular Khlong running alongside.

The buildings had been taken care of and were wonderful to walk around - we are certainly coming to Ayutthaya again.

Up closer the Buddha statues had gifts laid at the bottom.

And some places were being taken care of.

It was extremely special.

Here's me.
