Ayutthaya, Thailand🇹🇭

Ayutthaya is perhaps the most impressive ruins on the Asian continent, located in the wide fertile valley of the Chauphrai River, in its bend.

🔶 The main temples can be walked around, but by renting a bike, you will see a lot more. 

The largest temple in Ayutthaya was Wat Phra Si Sanphet, it was part of the palace complex.

Some temples were built in the Khmer style, many, although they lie in ruins, are still majestic. There are many images of the Buddha here, including the image in the Wat Phra Meru temple from Sri Lanka - they say this statue is 1300 years old. 

Unfortunately, many of the figures were damaged by the Burmese invaders, besides, more recently, treasure thieves stole several heads of statues. 

Nevertheless, for Thais, this is a sacred place, here they possess Buddha figures in yellow robes, scatter flower petals and burn incense.
