If you are looking for a beautiful, unique and peaceful photo location in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, "Wat Hastadawas" is a destination we would like you to experience on this holiday. This temple is located in the north outside the city island, near the Khlong Sa Bua area. The highlight that makes this place different from other temples is the architecture that appears to be located in the middle of the water, with a moat surrounding the ancient monuments, which is a characteristic of "Uthok Sima" or water boundary according to ancient beliefs, making the surrounding atmosphere shady and full of charm.
The highlight that photographers should not miss is finding a reflection angle of the old brick pagoda and the ruins of the viharn on the still water surface, which will give you a symmetrical and beautiful image like a work of art. Especially when the sunlight shines through the branches, the orange-brick ancient monuments contrasting with the green of the plants and the reflection in the water will create a wonderful dimension. For this reason, Wat Hastadawas has become a popular location for couples looking for a modern Thai-style pre-wedding photo shoot, or models who want to get beautiful portraits in a unique old city atmosphere.
In addition to the outstanding photo angles, Wat Hastadawas is also a suitable place to take a walk and relax on holidays because it is located in a quiet area and not as crowded as temples in the city center. Tourists can closely observe the historical traces of the late Ayutthaya period while absorbing the fresh air along Khlong Sa Bua. For those who plan to visit Ayutthaya next time, don't forget to prepare beautiful outfits and your favorite camera to check in at Wat Hastadawas. We guarantee that you will get beautiful pictures and be happy.
