Trip.com User: The ctrip we booked was great and made us have a great time! Because I am a lazy bug who can't accept the trip, sleep too much, and can't appreciate the local characteristics. I chose the lazy itinerary to sleep until I am full and can make up, and there are professional guides to explain cultural history in Chinese. It is even more exaggerated that there are photographers to help us take pictures of the beauty of the Internet. I thought I was reporting a wedding photography trip! You don't have to hurry to travel and you will be free to enjoy the ancient heritage culture! This is a relaxing and long-learning tour ☺️

เที่ยวแหลก แดกสะบัด: Historical Park Ayutthaya Province Pictures and stories by Pnas Wiwat Phanan Chathae Thailand is a trip that takes foreign friends to Ayutthaya that is considered to look at Ayutthaya in the eyes of outsiders who are just a famous tourist. Believe that the Ayutthaya is not just ruins And an ancient object as much Only seen But it is a sign of the civilization that (if you think carefully) prosperous like nowhere else in the world is comparable. A kingdom that built and built itself to survive and safely. Having wealth for more than 400 years is unusual. This is just a ruin After being destroyed and robbed There is hardly this treasure left. And think about how much it will be if it is still intact This will enter the fourth century of Rattanakosin Square. I want to know as well which direction it will grow and remain. It will be like Ayutthaya to have the same end or that it will adapt to a very progressive development. Standing for hundreds of thousands of years People of our generation and the next generation can only know. Want to know how the view that has never been seen by Ayutthaya through the lens. And photographer eyes Who could have advice on the place? And what good stories Recommended too I want to spend more than one day to record the pictures of the people, the way of life of the people there today to tell each other.

Like other ancient buildings, the outline of the temple can only be judged by the remaining foundation stones on the ground. The temple is famous for having a 28-meter-long reclining Buddha. This huge reclining Buddha lies comfortably in the sun, lying peacefully on his side surrounded by ruins, making people feel the peace and detachment of the Buddha at first sight.

The Bifo Temple in Pasishan is the site of the original Ayutthaya palace, and there are many relics of the ancient kingdom of Ayutthaya. At present, three large gray-white towers remain, and the ashes of three kings remain. It is said that the square on the right was originally a wooden palace building, but it collapsed after the demise of the Ayutthaya Dynasty. The Ayutthaya Dynasty abandoned this place because it was attacked by the Burmese army. The Burmese army conquered Ayutthaya and carried out extensive damage to the place. Now the surrounding and interior of the palace are full of ruins. The orange bricks in the building have been exposed and tilted due to gravity. . Including once there was a 16-meter-tall standing Buddha covered with 250 kilograms of gold, which was melted down after the Burmese army captured it. The three bell-shaped pagodas tapering from the bottom to the top of the Bifo Temple in Pasir Mountain are examples of ancient architecture in Ayutthaya. Judging from the majestic appearance of the palace-style building, the status of these three pagodas is as noble as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, and is hailed as "the second Angkor Wat" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
