If you are fascinated by the beauty of old bricks and traces of time in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, "Wat Suwannawat" is one of the small ancient sites that "Sookjai Weekend" would like to recommend you check in. Although the area of this abandoned temple is not as vast as other famous temples, it has a significant "highlight" that is rare to see and is a very powerful photo spot for explorers.
The most unique eye-catching point of Wat Suwannawat is the "ancient Buddha image with half a brick head." The image of the Buddha statue is enshrined amidst the ruins, with half of the head retaining its original structure and the other half revealing the red brick texture resulting from restoration or damage in the past. It creates a dimension of Buddhist art that looks strange and has a profound meaning about the impermanence of all things. Many photographers intentionally travel to capture the magical beauty of this angle.
Since Wat Suwannawat is an ancient site with a small area, exploring it does not take long, but you will experience a very private tranquility. The surrounding atmosphere is covered with shady trees. The sunlight that filters through the branches and hits the Buddha image with half a brick head helps create light and shadow that makes your photos stand out and have an interesting story. It is suitable for sitting and relaxing and taking beautiful pictures without rushing.
This weekend, if anyone plans to visit Ayutthaya and wants to find a historical photo location that looks different, "Wat Suwannawat" is the answer. In addition to getting beautiful unseen photos to show off to your friends, the simplicity and solemnity of this place will make you feel "happy" in a strange way. It is guaranteed to be another small spot that will make your Ayutthaya trip more meaningful.
