If you have a plan to travel to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya this holiday to find a place full of beautiful and peaceful architecture, "Wat Sala Poon Worawihan" is a destination not to be missed. This temple is a second-class royal monastery of the Worawihan type, located to the north of the city island. The atmosphere inside the temple is full of the historical atmosphere of the late Ayutthaya period that remains complete and valuable. Especially the Ubosot, which is shaped like a junk or boat beam, clearly shows the art of the late Ayutthaya period.
When entering the Ubosot, tourists will experience the uniqueness and beauty of the interior pillars decorated with exquisite Khao Bin patterns, which are a rare Buddhist art. These pillars help to make the large Buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara, which is enshrined inside, look more prominent and magnificent. This principal Buddha image has a pure, smiling Buddha image, so the locals call it "Phra Prathan Yim Rap Fa". There are also many Buddha images in various postures surrounding it, making those who come to worship feel happy and auspicious.
In addition to the beauty inside the Ubosot, Wat Sala Poon also has another sacred thing that should not be missed, which is the large "replica of the Buddha's footprint" enshrined inside the Mondop. This replica of the Buddha's footprint is made of metal, lacquered and gilded beautifully. Inside the Buddha's footprint is decorated with 108 auspicious patterns, which are symbols of prosperity and liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Tourists travel to worship
