Standing side by side in the heart of the ancient capital, Wiharn Phra Mongkhon Bophit and Wat Phra Si Sanphet form a breathtaking tableau of Ayutthaya’s royal and spiritual grandeur.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet — once part of the royal palace complex — was the kingdom’s most sacred temple, reserved for royal ceremonies and enshrinement of the ashes of kings. Its three iconic chedis, gleaming under the Thai sun, remain timeless symbols of Ayutthaya’s golden age.
Next door, Wiharn Phra Mongkhon Bophit houses one of Thailand’s largest bronze Buddha images, whose tranquil face radiates compassion and strength. As you step inside, the mingling scent of incense and candle wax evokes centuries of prayer and reverence.
Together, these two landmarks embody the heart of Ayutthaya — a place where history breathes, faith endures, and the echoes of the old kingdom still whisper through the temple courtyards.
