If you're an explorer who's getting tired of the crowded, popular temples, "Sookjai Weekend" invites you to cross over to the old city of Ayothaya, also known as "Sriramathepnakhon," to discover a secret spot with intriguing charm: "Wat Si Ka Samut," an ancient, abandoned temple with a unique identity unlike any other, waiting for explorers to discover the secrets hidden beneath the brick ruins of time.
The highlight that makes Wat Si Ka Samut talked about is the "main pagoda" with its unique shape. The architecture here is different from the bell-shaped or Prang-shaped pagodas that we are familiar with in the Ayutthaya city island, with a shape that looks more local and a receding corner that gives a solemn feeling in a different perspective. Walking around to see the remains of the old Viharn building, with only the brick base and some walls left, in the quiet atmosphere, allows us to feel the glory of the original city of Ayothaya before the establishment of Ayutthaya as the capital.
The atmosphere around Wat Si Ka Samut is quite peaceful and shady, suitable for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle to sit and relax or walk around taking pictures of ancient sites in a truly "unseen" angle. The sunlight shining on the orange bricks, contrasting with the green of the surrounding natural plants, helps to create dimensions for the photos to look powerful and have a unique story. It is a check-in point that takes beautiful pictures and has a different atmosphere from other places.
This holiday, if you want to experience a new and unique Ayutthaya tour, try checking in at Wat Si Ka Samut. In addition to seeing the uniquely shaped pagoda, you will also learn about the interesting history outside the city island at the same time. I guarantee that this trip will make you "happy" and get beautiful pictures to show off to your friends for sure.
