If you've ever seen a picture of an old brick archway with intricate tree roots embracing it, as if it came out of a fantasy movie, that place is "Wat Phra Ngam," an ancient abandoned temple outside the city island of Ayutthaya. This is a check-in point that "Sookjai Weekend" wants to invite everyone to experience with their own eyes once. Especially the important highlight that is dubbed the "Gate of Time," which will take you into the story of the past in an amazing way.
The most outstanding feature of Wat Phra Ngam is the brick archway with the roots of the Bodhi tree tightly and harmoniously embracing it, creating a feeling of solemnity and magic at the same time. When the evening sunlight shines through the archway, it creates a beautiful golden beam that is beyond description. It looks like a connecting path that takes us back to the era of the prosperity of Ayutthaya. It is a photo spot that tourists from all over the world have struggled to record this impression.
In addition to the Gate of Time, the atmosphere around the temple is still peaceful and simple. You will find an octagonal pagoda with distinctive art reflecting the early Ayutthaya period, surrounded by green fields and large trees that provide shade, making walking around this ancient site not too hot and giving a more private feeling than the main tourist temples in the city island. Suitable for slow-life people who want to absorb history and find a photo angle that looks deeply meaningful.
This holiday, if you want to change the atmosphere to find "unseen" in Ayutthaya, don't forget to stop by Wat Phra Ngam. In addition to seeing the miracle of nature embracing human art, you will get beautiful photos that look powerful to show off to your friends for sure. Step through the Gate of Time together, and you will find that Thai history has a charm that is more interesting than you think.
