5th and the last stop Wat Maha that

On the way To Wat Sri Shan Pet, we passed a bunch of tourist riding on elephant, there was also an elephant show nearby. This last temple was famous of the Bhuddha nestled in the roots of a fig tree. This is actually located on the left side of the whole temple. I didn’t expect the temple to be big, as this was not mention anywhere, but again, walking around and admiring it’s glorious past is mind boggling.

On the back wall there are rows of Bhuddha images, but most of them are destroyed or missing parts due to the destruction. The enterance fee for this one is also 50 baht for foreigner.

This conclude my visit to the temples of Ayutthaya, I wish I get to visit more, but the one I had visited is probably the highlight, not a bad trip for a day trip from Bangkok. Tuk tuk cost me 300 baht, the transport back and forth from Bangkok cost me 60 baht one way, so 120 baht for the round trip. All the temple visits combined cost me 190 baht. All together 510 baht for the trip, and add another 70 baht for the BTS trip from Ploen Cit to Victory monument.
