If we were to talk about a temple filled with magic and a long history before the establishment of Ayutthaya as the capital, "Wat Phutthaisawan" is an important landmark that "Sookjai Holiday" would like to recommend everyone to visit. This temple is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, south of the city island. In the past, this area was the original residence of Somdet Phra Ramathibodi I or King U Thong, the first king of Ayutthaya, called "Phra Tamnak Wiang Lek" before the official relocation to build the Grand Palace on the island area.
The highlight that makes tourists, both Thai and foreign, stop and stare is the "large white main prang," Khmer-style art that stands majestically in the heart of the temple, which has been well maintained and looks exquisitely beautiful. It is surrounded by a cloister with Buddha statues arranged peacefully. In addition, inside the temple, there is a beautiful reclining Buddha image and the residence of Somdet Phra Phutthakhosachan with complete and rare dust-colored murals. The atmosphere around the temple is shady and solemn at the same time, making this a must-visit location for photographers and history enthusiasts.
Another special feature of Wat Phutthaisawan is its connection to the legend of swordsmanship and fighting in Thai history. This gives the place an aura of power and courage hidden in every brick. Visiting here in the evening when the soft sunlight hits the white prang against the blue sky will be a beautiful and mesmerizing image that gives a very powerful feeling. This holiday, if anyone wants to go back in time to find the beginning of the Ayutthaya kingdom, try visiting Wat Phutthaisawan. We guarantee that you will receive happiness and encouragement for sure. Follow travel articles and other secret locations on the Sookjai Holiday website.
