Hello everyone ◕‿-
This trip will take you to 9 temples in Ayutthaya, the old capital of Thailand.

.

When it comes to a 9-temple pilgrimage, Ayutthaya is often the first province that comes to mind.
Ayutthaya is accessible by car, train, and bus.
Moreover, there are many temples in close proximity, making it perfect for a one-day pilgrimage trip.

This trip plan focuses on temples and restaurants located within the inner city.
After... pinning down the plan, we have "9 temples, 2 restaurants, and 2 cafes".

Let's embark on our journey together when you're ready. :>

.

1.) Breakfast at "Blue River Hanging Noodle Shop"
Enjoy delicious and affordable noodles while dangling your feet over the river and admiring the breathtaking views of Wat Phutthaisawan.

2. Enjoy a cup of coffee at Busaba Cafe

This small cafe, located opposite Wat Mahathat, is a perfect escape from the heat. Enjoy a refreshing drink in the cool air conditioning. However, it's important to note that some customers have found the staff to be unfriendly.

3. Wat Mahathat (Temple 1)

This temple is famous for the Buddha head statue embedded within a tree, which has become its signature feature. Additionally, the surrounding area boasts other points of interest, such as a large prang (tower-like structure) and an octagonal-shaped stupa. These features make Wat Mahathat a popular destination for both Thai and international visitors.

4. Wat Ratchaburana (Temple 2)
Located next to Wat Mahathat, only a 5-minute walk away.

5. Wat Thammarat (Temple 3)

Located adjacent to the ancient palace, Wat Thammarat is a temple of the Mahanikai sect. Originally known as Wat Mukharat, it currently houses monks who reside and practice Dhamma.

.

6. Wat Na Phra Meru (Temple No. 4)
As it was once used by the Burmese as a command post, it is the only temple in Ayutthaya that was not burned down by the Burmese. Therefore, it is in the most complete condition in Ayutthaya Province.

7. Wat Chedi Thong (Temple No. 5)

Located just a 5-minute drive from Wat Na Phra Meru, this temple charmed us with its delightful touches. From the colorful incense sticks and candles matching each day of the week to the complimentary chilled drinking water, Wat Chedi Thong offers a welcoming and thoughtful experience.

8. Wat Mongkolbopit (Temple 6)

Located adjacent to the Ayutthaya Historical Park, Wat Mongkolbopit is a popular temple for worship. It is considered a must-visit temple for those who come to pay respects in Ayutthaya.

9. Ayutthaya Historical Park and Wat Phra Si Sanphet (Temple No. 7)

The Ayutthaya Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, encompasses the ancient palace grounds of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The cover image of this guidebook features a scene from this very location! Thai citizens enjoy an entrance fee of only 10 baht.

**10. Lunch at Baan Mai Rim Nam Restaurant**
After paying our respects at the temple and making merit, it was time for lunch.
For lunch, we chose to have grilled prawns with a riverside view at Baan Mai Rim Nam Restaurant.
When in Ayutthaya, not eating the local river prawns would be a big miss, wouldn't it? :>

11. Wat Khun Phrom (Temple 8)

This temple is located directly opposite the Baan Mai Rim Nam restaurant. While enjoying our meal, we noticed the ferry boats crossing back and forth. This sparked the idea of taking a boat ride to visit the temple.

A change of mind, a change of plan :>
This pier not only takes us to Wat Khun Phrom, but it is also a place where local people travel.

Wat Khun Phrom is a peaceful and serene temple, perfect for prayer and making merit. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit this wonderful place. :>

Looking from the temple, you can see the restaurant we just ate at on the opposite side.

12. Wat Yai Chaimongkol (Temple No. 9)

This final temple on our trip is a popular destination, with many people starting their pilgrimage here. We've saved it for last, however, as it's located on the outer edge of the complex.

The highlights of this temple include the reclining Buddha, the large stupa, and the impressive architecture.

13. Baan-Kao-Nhom
A Thai dessert shop that we personally recommend. As a dessert lover, I can't resist! :>

The shop offers a wide variety of Thai desserts, such as Thong Yip, Thong Yod, Khao Tom Mud, and Pumpkin Curry. We had a lot of fun choosing the desserts, as some of them were new to us and we had never seen or heard of them before. It was a really fun experience trying new desserts! We were able to choose the desserts we wanted, put them in a basket, pay at the counter, and then take them back to our table to eat. 555+

This is a paragraph with no text.

For drinks, whether it's coffee or the shop's recommended menu, such as Longkorn Green Tea and Chubchoojai, you can order at the counter and then sit at a table. The staff will bring it to your table.
