"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. "
