Wat Khun Mueang Chai: Experience the most spectacular large pagoda in a relaxing corner at a secret cafe in the old city. If you are looking for a travel destination in Ayutthaya that combines the grandeur of ancient sites and the charm of a cafe in one place, "Wat Khun Mueang Chai" is the destination that "Sookjai Weekend" would like to recommend you to visit. This abandoned temple is located within the city island of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, which is strikingly visible from afar with its enormous pagoda that remains amazingly intact.
The grandeur of the octagonal pagoda. The most outstanding feature of Wat Khun Mueang Chai is the large main pagoda that stands majestically on a high base. This architecture reflects the Ayutthaya art that is rare to see. The size of the pagoda allows those who stand in front of it to feel the glory of the past. The atmosphere around the temple is quite peaceful, not as crowded as the main temples, allowing us to fully absorb the history and take pictures of the beauty of the old red brick contrasting with the sky.
A cute little cafe with a million-dollar view. After enjoying the beauty of the temple, what you should not miss is a visit to a cute little cafe located nearby. The shop is decorated in a simple but charming style, giving a warm and friendly feeling. The highlight is the seating area that is arranged for you to sit and sip a cold drink or eat delicious snacks while gazing at the view of the large pagoda of Wat Khun Mueang Chai through the clear glass or open space.
Sitting and watching the shadows of the ancient sites amidst the cool breeze with a good cup of coffee is the most perfect combination of old and new, ideal for relaxing on a leisurely holiday.
This holiday, if you want to change the atmosphere and travel to Ayutthaya from a different perspective, try experiencing the happiness at Wat Khun Mueang Chai. I guarantee that you will get beautiful pictures and a lot of energy back!
