Ancient City - Ayutthaya 大城府

On our second day in Ayutthaya we drove to three important sites in Ayutthaya. The famous "Buddha Head in the Tree" (Wat Mahathat) is a spectacle that the Buddha's head was cut off when the Burmese army invaded and destroyed it, and the Buddha's head rolled to the Bodhi tree and was gradually embraced by the tree. The Khmer-style stupa in Wat Ratchaburana next to Wat Mahathat commemorates two royal brothers who died fighting for the throne. Finally came to Wat Phra Si Sanphet unfortunately closed due to light activity nearby.
在大城的第二天我們自駕到三個在大城的重要遺跡。 著名的 "樹中佛頭" (Wat Mahathat) 是當年緬甸軍入侵破壞時把佛頭斬下，彿頭滾至菩提樹而日漸被樹抱着的奇觀。 在Wat Mahathat 旁的Wat Ratchaburana 內的高棉式佛塔是紀念兩位爭奪王位相戰而死的皇室兄弟。 最後來到Wat Phra Si Sanphet 可惜因附近有燈光活動而關閉了。
