Introducing a UNESCO World Heritage site, the ruins of Ayutthaya!
My curiosity of Ayutthaya began when I looked up the list of World Heritage sites in Southeast Asian nations.
 |
| Enter the gates of Wat Buddhaisawan! This is the ancient city's symbol. |
 |
| Silk-robed buddhas all over the temple ground. |
 |
| Yes, that's the flag of Thailand. |
 |
| Unacceptable! Not sharp, not centered either. A hint of OCD for you, reader. |
 |
| Buddhas, big and small, lined up to meet and greet you. |
 |
| He selectively prayed to some buddhas and fixed the offerings. Why is that nearest cup half empty?! |
 |
 |
| An elephant would take you round and round that chedi for photo opportunities. Poser, mehhh |
 |
| If the Harry Potter series had Headless Nick, might as well name these headless idols. |
 |
| More chedis. An individual temple area is officially called a "wat." Numerous wats compose Ayutthaya. |
 |
| The destruction of idols were brought about by the clash of Buddism and Hinduism. |
