What people say

"One of two main temple complexes in the area. The Temple is believed to be one of Ayutthaya's oldest temples, possibly built by King Boromaraja I (1370-88). Wat Phra Mahathat, Thailand, was a royal Temple of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It is one of the oldest and most significant temples in the history of Ayutthaya as it housed the Buddha's holy relicts. There is an entry fee of 50 bath (1.4€). At the entrance you'll find bike parking, toilets (paid for), food vendors and small shops. You can even borrow an umbrella for free just to hide from the sun. "

"One of the temple's attractions is the stone head of a Buddha locked in the twisted tangle of a tree's roots."

Mentioned in these guides

In late 2024 I finally went for the backpacking trip I was planning since 2020 - month in Thailand. And it was magical. From paradise beaches to jungle hikes and Buddhist temples Thailand has so much to offer I'm already looking forward to coming back. But I'm a backpacker that does try to make dollar stretch. I love traveling and spend months at the time on the road and budgeting definitely helps. In this guide I'll share with you my itinerary, sharing all places I stayed, all trains I took, all lessons I learned and all the costs so you can plan your perfect trip and not break the bank. My final cost for 26 days was 454€, and that includes everything from accommodation to transport, food and activities (except international flights and diving). I'll share with you exactly what those costs were and how you can replicate this budget trip. The trip was originally planner as solo trip but a friend joined me in the end. However its 100% suitable for single traveller or pair and I would also recommend it for solo female travellers. What you'll find in the guide ✔️day to day itinerary ✔️public transport information both local and long distance ✔️accommodation recommendations based on places I stayed ✔️activities to do ✔️restaurant recommendations (vegetarian) ✔️all helpful tips and tricks I learned along the way (food, money, drinking water, hidden fees and more)
