When visiting Ayutthaya, you must stop by Wat Yai Chai Mongkol 🙏

Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, formerly known as Wat Pa Kaew or Wat Chao Thai

The highlight of the temple is the large bell-shaped pagoda, which is believed to have been renovated during the reign of King Naresuan the Great. Inside the pagoda, it was discovered that there were auspicious incantations. There are stairs in front of the pagoda that you can walk up to.

At Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, there is also a large reclining Buddha in the reclining Buddha chapel. Although the chapel has decayed over time, leaving only the walls and lotus pillars, the Buddha statue has been well restored.

Wat Yai Chai Mongkol is considered a temple with historical significance from many eras and is a very popular temple for tourists.
