one most beautiful big Buddha head in front of the entrance of temple . The
original head of Buddha was moved to Chao Sam PhraYa museum for keeping

Second Place – WAT Rathchaburana
Wat Ratchaburana is located on Historical park , The temple of the

Ratchathirat II as a memorial to his two elder brothers , who died in a power
struggle following the reign of their father
The surviving brother, King Ratchatirat II was the seventh King of
Ayutthaya
The design of the temple is derived from the Khmer Prasat of
earlier period but is loftier with a higher base and a taller central tower

Last Place –WAT Maha-that
Regarding to tradition,WAT Maha-that was built in 1384 by King
Ratchatirat to relic of house of Buddha,but it is more likely it was build
dring the reign of King Boromaraja
Wat Maha-That is could be the biggest of ruins in Ayutthaya park
and it has amazing Buddha-Head is in the THREE TRUNK
The temple's prang, at 46 m (150 ft) high, is one of the old
city's most impressive edifices. With its picturesquely ruined stupas, Wat
Mahathat is a great place to be at sunset. Scattered around the temple are some
important remains of variously shaped prangs and chedis, in particular an
octagonal chedi with a truncated spire in the Ceylonese style. Nearby, the head
of a still much-revered statue of the Buddha lies on the ground. stupas
surrounded by low laterite walls and rows of headless Buddhas.
