Wat Chai Watthanaram (Ayutthaya) (Part 1 of 2)

Wat Chai Watthanaram was a wonderful place to visit and there was so much history to investigate.

 

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.

Wat Chai Watthanaram was close to the road that were taking back to Bangkok.

A popular thing to do was to rent old clothes and have your photograph taken there - we didn't. 

The older environment was wonderful - I took so many photographs.

I could not stop...

Inside here was a special Buddha.

I was careful not to abuse anything.

The walls held even more to find.

Super and beautiful.
