#FathersDayTravel Take your father to worship and have fun. Visit the world heritage city, the ancient capital of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. It is not far from Bangkok. Just over an hour's drive. Today, we went to Wat Thammarat, which is considered a mystery that unraveled the origin of Ayutthaya. It is a temple located next to the ancient palace on the east side. It is an old royal temple that was built before the establishment of Ayutthaya. It is a temple of the Mahanikaya sect. According to legend, this temple used to be called Wat Mukarat. At that time, King Sai Nam Phueng built Wat Phanan Choeng. His son, King Thammarat, ordered the construction of this temple in the old city area, called Sangkhaburi, before the establishment of Ayutthaya. Subsequent kings have restored it throughout. #wattosann
