Ancient temple with remain structures that made from old bricks. Lots of Buddha sculptures. You can walk up to the top of the structure to look at the surrounding view. The place is kept in good shape and clean. Weather was very hot on that day.

Nicely upkept 500 year old temple .. Entrance is free for locals and only 20 or 30b for foreigners. Not too crowded, peaceful temple and very beautiful during sunset. Car park is ample.

Absolutely beautiful, truly an amazing place to visit. I had never heard of it before travelling to Thailand. You can easily spend a couple of hours wandering around the different areas of this complex, which is considered "Thailand's National Pride", and there's quite a few other complexes in the area also; you could easily spend a week exploring them all.

An beautiful architecture of brick construction, with beautiful Buddha statues . A truly enriching heritage site, well worth the visit. Mostly crowded during the weekend and vacation as the locals visit the temple.from 20th December to 31st December entry is free for all.

An ancient temple that is definitely worth seeing, and for us foreigners it only cost 20 Baht. I have been here once before, so it is truly amazing to come back, and see that they are taking care of the temple. Plus they have updated bathrooms, and plenty of parking when you come to visit.

It s an ancient temple and The big sleeping Buddha, an incredible, stunning, scenic and must-see in Ayutthaya. The spacious parking space provided a clean and comfortable restroom. Should come early before many people. No fee for a visit.

Absolutely loved this place. It was one of my favorite places in Ayutthaya. There are many temples and Buddhas. Definitely recommend taking the stairs to the top of the main temple to enjoy the views from above. The grounds are nicely maintained with lots of trees and grassy areas. The white Buddha behind the main temple and the reclining Buddha were also wonderful!

Neat place to visit! Very historic! There is a bathroom that’s easy to access. Free to Thai people and cheap for foreigners. There is a gift shop also! Neat place!

This template has belonged to the heart of Ayuddhaya in the past 250 years. The architecture is wonderful and unique. The guest must be visite here, strongly recommend.

This locale is a fascinating blend of captivating statues and delightful walking paths, culminating in a temple that boasts an impressive design. The view from the temple’s summit is nothing short of breathtaking. However, it’s worth noting that the statues and buildings would greatly benefit from a thorough power wash. Such maintenance could remarkably enhance the overall allure of this already extraordinary place, elevating its charm to new heights.

An insightful glimpse into a bygone era of brick construction, adorned with intricate Buddha statues that captivate the eye. A truly enriching experience, well worth the visit. Mostly crowded during the weekend as the locals visit the temple. Oh! The Foreigners need to buy tickets before entering.

Architecture of Chaimongkhon Temple: The temple boasts a unique architectural style that blends traditional Thai and Khmer elements. Visitors can climb the steps that lead up to a platform for views over the temple complex. The temple has a long and illustrious history, dating back to the 14th century. The temple has undergone several restorations over the years, and today it still stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Thailand.

The ancient temple of Ayutthaya prefecture. There are 3 zone for visit. First, the original temple which ordinary, mystery and calming. The history described the temple was built in 19xx A.D. the king in that time was fight with the enemy while the soldier support come to late. The king decided to punishment but the monk please to stop those penalty. This is the monument of peaceful memory history. Second, the building for praise the king Naresuan. Third, you can feed the fish and turtle in the small swamp beside of temple. The tickets free of charge.

We are here during the Songkran festival. Locals come here to do their offering. The temple size is incredible. The surrounding are super well maintain. Hot! Hot! Hot! Bring water and sun protection.

This ancient temple has a large stupa with steps leading to the top. There is also a reclining Buddha and many Buddha images. A very historical site where you feel peace to walk around.

One of the oldest and beautiful temple in Ayutthaya, is filled with history and aged Buddhist statues alongside the wall of the temples. Very peaceful surroundings and hiking steps leading to the top of the pagoda looking down the areas of the temple.

Its original name is Wat Pa Kaeo. Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon is a Buddhist temple in Ayutthaya. Its free for Thai people. Foreigner people price is 20 baht. There is an area where you can park your car. It wasn't too crowded as I went early. Don’t be lazy and take a closer look at the temple by climbing the stairs.

Thai historical sites in the Ayutthaya period It's a sacred place. and the great buildings of the past It's an important place that you come see.

Impressive site and feels calming to walk around the site and look on these constructions that are so old. Free for Thai people 20,- for foreigners. Good value!

After climbing some stairs you can go inside the Chedi or Pagoda. King Naresuan the Great constructed this Chedi as the memorial for his victory over King of Burma.

Also known as the Victory temple, it is now privately funded and managed by the Buddhist Association. Highlights here include the 72m tall stupa and a 7m long Reclining Buddha. The public could make donations to reconstruct the Buddha statues that surrounded the stupa. Those who did can have names (those of their deceased family) carved onto plates attached to the stone platform with their ashes buried below it. Good view of the surroundings from above. Climbed 66 steps to make it to the top, to see the inside of the 72m stupa. Again, a pity there wasn't any signs to describe the history of the area and what the different Buddha Statues in there were. There's a wishing well in the middle of it, where our guide said if you make a wish, toss a coin in and it lands exactly in the middle of the basket below, your wish will come true. When I looked over the barricade, all I saw were 3 staff scooping up the coins and notes that were tossed. What I found interesting though, was the 'magic' in the numbers. According to the guide, the stupa being 72m meant 7+2=9, which is a lucky number for the Thais. And 66 steps means 6x6=36, 3+6=9 again.

I would mark Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon as a must-go destination of Ayutthaya. Did not know too much about the temple, but anyway all the literatures can be found online. What you should do is take a look at those great heritages. This temple is relatively well-mantianced compared with other temples here in Ayutthaya. Entrance fee for foreigner is 20 baht, free motor parking, spending at least 1 hour here is absolutely worthy.

Another Amazing Thailand Temple in Ayutthaya! This not-to-be-missed 14th Century Ayutthaya site is part of a still-active Buddhist temple, so it can get crowded with both locals and tourists. The ancient ruins within the temple complex are beautiful and well-maintained. One of the modern halls is actually constructed within the outer walls of an ancient hall...a great combination of new & old. Unlike many of the temples in the Old City, there was no entry fee charged here when we visited. Although it sits outside of the central historical section of Ayutthaya it is definitely worth the time to view this indescribable marvel.

This is another highly commercialized temple. Therre are may interesting and beutiful things to see including ruins of ancient Khmer style temples. The grounds and facilities are all well maintained and very nice. I only gave them 4 stars because it feels a little too commercial for me. I prefer the more traditional temples in country settings to the big city temples. This is a nice temple visit for anyone traveling to Ayutthaya.

Gorgeous temple. While it sits in the city it is certainly a peaceful site. Seeing the 38 blessings was unexpected but lovely. I recommend it.

Very beautiful and lots of history of this place.when you around to walk up there don't forget to bring some coins and throw to the well up there ( technically is no watering but the bucket) wish before you throw the coin and try your best let the coin drop exactly in the bucket. Some believe that luck.

One of the many old temples in Ayutthaya to visit. This temple has a big garden and has many Buddha statues.

It's the best time to visit Ayuthaya. Less tourist and nice weather which is not too hot for a long day riding trip.

The temple is located outside the old city walls. However, it is easy to reach by tuck tuck. The entire complex is well restored. The 80-metre high Chedi is particularly impressive. The reclining Buddha is also worth seeing. Many Buddha statues are lined up around the Chedi. However, they are from more recent times. There are different opinions about the history of the Chedi. The legend is often told that King Naresuan (1555-1605) had the Chedi built in 1592 as to commemorate of victory in an elephant duel with King Maha Uparacha of Burma.  This story can also be found on the temple's information board. However, as historical research has shown, the Chedi must rather be attributed to King Narai and probably dates from the period between 1656 and 1666. However, it cannot be ruled out that there was already a Chedi before that, which was then dismantled and replaced by the large Chedi.

Historical temple back to more hundred years ago. Popular to visit here both Thai people and oversea traveller

That's really 💯 beautiful place and viewed too. Very older and historic monument of Buddhist ☸ temple. Really good to visit and resting here.

I found this place the most beautiful historical site in Ayutthaya. The ruins are more well preserved, with beautiful plants & a moat where you can feed tortoises.

Beautiful place. The old temple from Ayutthaya. It is very peaceful and fantastic. I pray and make merit. I walk up inside the middle pagoda, there are a place to make merit there. Put a coin in the middle.

Large temple and stupa. You can climb up the stairs to the top of the temple and toss a coin to the bottom. There’s also a large lying Buddha not far from the temple. Right outside the temple there’s also a smaller lying Buddha.

Very cool place and very well preserved. Definitely one of the nicer temples in Ayutthaya and one of the only old temples you can actually walk into. Worth seeing for sure.

"Wow" is the best word to describe this beautiful piece of Thailand history. Spectacular architecture coupled with the history of the area enlightens and strengthens the mind set of preservation for all generations to see. A must see place in Thailand.

Beautiful temple, with a reclining Buddha and other figures draped in orange robes. We came around 8.30am, before the tourist buses arrive, and it was very peaceful. Entry is 20 baht for foreigners.

This place is simply awesome! A must see if you're into the history of Thailand. Recommend a guided tour unless you already know the history.

Stunning complex. Not ideal to get there by bike since you need to cross a big bridge, so taxi, scooter or tuktuk would be much better. The harmony of the statues surrounded by chedis and loads of plants is really amazing. It can get crowded, but still makes you feel in peace. There is also a small pond with turtles you can feed right next to the main hall

Absolutely beautiful temple and one of my favorites during my visit to Ayutthaya. You can climb the steps to get a stunning view of the grounds. There's also a reclining Buddha who looks pretty comfortable. While wandering around, I crossed a bridge and ended up in a place filled with rooster statues. Not just a lot of roosters but the most roosters I've ever seen. It's quite a sight.

A temple complex. Built on/around ruins that's in the process of being restored/new building adding to the complex. You can still climb the Chedi/Jedi to give you a view of the entire complex. A reclining Buddha is near the entrance. Worshippers and pilgrims may donate to adorn cloth over the reclining Buddha. Incense and candle offerings can be made at the main Buddha. The toilets are located at the entrance of the temple. There's plenty of parking.
