    This Reclining Buddah is the biggest in Thailand while the one in Bangkok can be considered as the second largest.

    It is made of stone with a height of 8 meters and length of 37 meters.

    A gigantic image of Buddah wherein the visitors will look so tiny when they come near to have picture taking.

    During the time when the Burmese Army attacked Ayuthaya they killed lots of people, burned their houses and even invaded the temples burned them and cut the head and arms of the Buddah statues.

    Some stories said, the reason why the Burmese Army cut the head and arms of the statue it is because they thought there were gold and hidden treasure inside the body.

    Upto now,you can find lots of headless and armless Buddah statues within the complex.

    Actually,I was told by my friend who drove me there that this wat is the most imposing ancient Buddhist monasteries. And When I arrived,I totally agree,I was stunned.
    See !! This is the entrance of Wat Chaiwatthanaram. The central Prang is surrounded by eight smaller ones. All the prang have been restored.

    3 Chedis
    by bonbonhart
    As i told you that this place was built by King Boromatrailokanat in 1448 A.D. I wanna continue the story that this Wat then was later added to by his son,Ramathibodi II,who built two chedis to house the relics of his father and brother(King Borommarachathirat III )

    After that,the third chedi was built by the order of King Boromaracha IV to house the remains of King Ramathibodi II

    NOt so confuse ,,right? :)

    Here's another view of three chedis. Yeah you can count the chedis from this pic more than three. Right!,after 1500 A.D, the ashes of members of all royal family members and other kings were placed in small chedis at the site as well.

    It 's Wat but this place was a royal Chapel and did not have a Sangavasa(no monks dwelt there). It was used only for royal ceremonies and rituals which includes giving alms to the monks from other temples. Which also performs the Wian Tian ceremony on Buddhist holy days.

  • Chedi - Ayuthaya
    Chedi
    by bonbonhart
    The Chedi here,one of the largest(60 meters high) in Ayutthaya, was built by King Naresuan(1590-1605) to celebrate his victory over the Burmese at Nong Sarai. It's very huge. The Top of this chedi is visible to me from a great distance,as soon as i enter the boundary of Ayutthaya.

    i m so sorry that i had no patient enough to wait for all people fading away, in order to get a great pic of chidi's entrance. Those were student group which bumped in to each other in every places during my one day trip.
