  Wat Mahathat

  Explore one of Ayutthaya’s most recognizable temples and see the famous Buddha head held naturally within the roots of a growing tree. Walk among the monastery ruins, weathered Buddha images and remains of the central tower while learning why Wat Mahathat once served as an important religious centre of the kingdom. There will be time for photographs and questions without the rushed pace of a large group.
