If you are looking for a charming and peaceful photo location in the heart of Ayutthaya city island, "Wat Chao Prap" is the destination we would like to recommend for this holiday. This temple is located in the west in the Pratu Chai sub-district. Although there is no clear evidence of its construction, the importance of this temple is mentioned in the Royal Decree of the Ayutthaya period regarding the inspection of temples in the city, reflecting that this place was once an important religious site and played a role in the royal court for a long time.
The highlight that makes tourists and photographers fall in love with Wat Chao Prap is the unusual roots of the Bodhi tree, spreading branches and creating an atmosphere that looks both sacred and shady. Interesting architecture includes the main bell-shaped pagoda on an octagonal base and the Ubosot located on the same base, which is a popular temple plan in the middle to late Ayutthaya period. When the faint sunlight shines through the Bodhi leaves onto the old orange bricks, it creates a beautiful and powerful dimension.
Walking around Wat Chao Prap on a holiday will help you find happiness from the peace and close contact with history. And the surrounding glass walls still show traces of the past greatness. For those who want to escape the hustle and bustle to sit and relax under the big trees or find a beautiful vintage-style portrait photo angle, Wat Chao Prap is the perfect answer for your Ayutthaya trip.
