For anyone looking for a "chic" and "sacred" photo spot unlike any other in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, "Sookjai Weekend" recommends pinning your map to "Wat Bot Ratchadet," an ancient abandoned temple located in the old city of Ayothaya, or "Sri Ram Thep Nakhon," to the east outside the city island. This place doesn't just have old brick ruins, but also a surreal highlight that will make photographers say wow and raise their cameras to capture the scene.
What makes Wat Bot Ratchadet stand out and be talked about among exploration enthusiasts is the enormous "spire of the main chedi" that has fallen to the ground. Instead of standing majestically in the sky like other temples, the image of the bell-shaped spire resting firmly on the ground, contrasting with the green grass and trees that try to embrace the ancient ruins, creates a powerful and unique feeling like a work of art created by time. It's a location where you can take indie and enchanting photos at the same time.
In addition to the giant chedi spire that catches the eye, the surrounding atmosphere of Wat Bot Ratchadet is also peaceful and shady with large trees spreading their branches to cover the ancient ruins. The soft sunlight that filters through the leaves and falls on the old bricks and the chedi spire helps add dimension to your photos, making them more interesting. This place is perfect for walking around to find cool angles or taking Cinematic-style photos that emphasize the tranquility but also convey the grandeur of Ayutthaya's history.
This weekend, if you want to change the atmosphere from paying respects at the main temples to exploring the old city of Ayothaya, try checking in at Wat Bot Ratchadet. We guarantee that you will get unique and stylish photos and experience "happiness" amidst the tangible beauty up close. It is another unseen Ayutthaya that is worth visiting at least once.
