Visa-free Thailand, Wat Phra Mahathat's Buddha head in tree roots.

🌈Attraction features: The Buddha head in tree roots is located at the entrance of Wat Phra Mahathat in Ayutthaya, Thailand, and is one of the seven wonders of Thailand. In the 18th century, the Burmese army invaded the Ayutthaya Kingdom, and most of the temples were severely damaged. The head of the Buddha statue was cut off and fell under the Bodhi tree. The tree roots gradually surrounded and wrapped the Buddha head, forming a unique landscape. The Buddha head has a serene expression with closed eyes and a smile, which is called the "eternal smile" by the Thai people. 🕐️Opening hours: 08:00–18:30, THB 50 per person 🚗Transportation: [One] Within Ayutthaya, you can walk or ride a motorcycle, or take a taxi or tuk-tuk, all of which are convenient. [Two] If you drive from Bangkok, it is basically due north, and it takes about 70 minutes by car. There is free parking at the entrance of the scenic area, but there are not many spaces. [Three] You can also take a train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya Railway Station. 💗Other tips: Wat Phra Mahathat is a royal temple that once had 209 towers and 10 monasteries. The buildings are widely distributed, and although most of the foundations remain, the original large scale can still be seen. The central stupa is made of red clay and then painted with plaster. The lotus bud-shaped stupa is called Sukhothai style. The architectural style and decoration are exquisite and delicate. From the remaining architectural components and structures, you can still see the exquisite decoration traces such as carvings and patterns, reflecting the cultural characteristics of the Thai nation. After many wars and the baptism of time, most of the temples are now ruins, with serious damage, unique beauty of ruins, and historical vicissitudes.
