Wat Mahathat was one of Ayutthaya’s most important temples. It enshrined Buddha relics and was the seat of the Supreme Patriarch of Buddhism and thus the center of Buddhism in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. When the Burmese invaded and largely destroyed Ayutthaya in 1767, Wat Mahathat was set on fire.

Wat Lokayasutharam was a large temple located west of the royal palace. Most of the temple was leveled to the ground in the aftermath of the Burmese invasion. The most significant surviving relic of the old temple is a large reclining Buddha image. The image is around 40 meters long and 8 meters high. Although the image was once housed in its own chapel, that too was destroyed so now the Buddha sits in the open air.
Duration: 15 minutes
