Restoration efforts beginning later transformed Wat Chaiwatthanaram from the looted ruin to probably the most visited attractions within the Ayutthaya Historic Park. This huge complex around the west bank of Chao Phraya river is among Ayutthaya's most impressive temples while offering understanding of the influence of Buddhism around the Thai community. Built-in the standard Khmer style, the complex includes a central prang or spire perched atop an oblong base among four smaller sized prang and eight chedi-like temples or merus. Reliefs portraying scenes in the existence from the Buddha once adorned the outside of the merus, only fragments now remain. Sunset is definitely an especially beautiful time for you to visit, once the structures glow within the late light.
