A serene historical temple next to a river. There is a restoration work carrying on now. The temple compound is big. Many Thai traditional costumes rental store next to the temple, so you can see many visitors are wearing the traditional costumes to visit this temple. It got a really cool vibes here at the sunset time. There is also a cafe near the entrance of the temple.

Beautiful temple complex. Included in the 6 temple ticket. It gets crowded because all the tourists come here and there's a clothing rental across the street and visitors can dress up in traditional clothing and take pictures.

Entry was free from December 20 - January 5 2024 for the new year. I liked that there was a route that you can follow to see the site, but I was missing some explanation for the points of interest. There were seating available a little after the entrance. It could be hot on a sunny day as there are not many shaded areas.

This place is nice and seems it maintains way better than the other scenic spots around. It was crowded but it’s also spacious. And so, you won’t feel there are many people around you. You can also rent a traditional Thai dress and umbrella to take some nice photos. Tickets are sold at the entrance. The ticket is 10b for local and 50b for foreigner. Do take note, for the foreigner who resides in Thailand must also pay the foreigner price which is 50b. No matter you hold a long term visa, Thai driver license or the pink identity card. Car park is limited but there are some empty lands charging 30b per parking.

50bath per entry. Nice view and great historical place. Can change to traditional cloth for 100Tbath. The place is big and kinda hot but fortunately they prepare the umbrella for visitor to use.

An amazing place! A sense of the closeness of history. The complex is being reconstructed, the territory is being cared for. According to the meter, there are 120 Buddha statues (also without heads). You can recreate a scene from the old Mortal Kombat film (part of the film was shot in this complex). I recommend you to visit. The price is 50 THB.

One of the most famous historical temple in Ayutthaya. As know as temple in Thai local drama series. View from the river side is very nice. In front of this temple has some rental shop for ancient dress for photography.

A really beautiful temple complete with surrounding stone Buddhas, ruins, reconstruction work, and a very imposing tower. It costs 50 baht to go in (or buy the national park pass for 220 baht and enter 7 temples) While you cannot go up the tower, there is a lot to explore. Across the way you can rent some period Thai clothes for picture taking. Bring a nice camera for that...or just for the historical magnificence. Enjoy. Light and aloha 🙏🏽🤙🏽

Of the six temples on the combo entry ticket, this one was definitely worth a visit. I'll let my photos tell the story. One note - there were not any ramps for those in a wheelchair to access the main part of the temple grounds.

10 baht for locals and 50 baht for foreigners. Definitely worth the 1 hour drive from Bangkok. Beautiful historical site. Make it truly remarkable when you go and dress up in Traditional Thai wardrobe.

Beautiful! Highly recommended! Well maintained & a perfect place to take pics. You can rent traditional Thai costumes and take pics. I went in the evening & the sunset was amazing. Not to be missed!

We visited this place on a Saturday afternoon. It was an amazing place to see. They were lots of people in Thai traditional costumes taking photos. But we came to the grounds from a different route but when we left the place we then saw lots of shops on the main road renting these costumes for the photos. It's all to do with the backdrop due to the ancient historical buildings which would have good photos to take. I highly recommend this place.

Very beautiful and well preserved. It actually looks quite similar to the Wat Arun ( Temple of the Sunrise) which is my favorite temple in Bangkok. So I love it! You can rent some Thai clothes before entering the site.

An ancient place full of ancient temples that have been at least partially preserved. It would be interesting to find out what actually led the ancient builders to build these types of buildings, what or who inspired them. Those buildings subconsciously resemble spaceships, at least the largest building in the middle. It's a shame about the destroyed statues, where the upper part of the body, mainly the head, is missing in the vast majority. It is said that in the past gold and the most valuable things were hidden there, it is not surprising that it attracted conquerors.

Yet another great temple! Very nice structures and well preserved. This was our last stop and it took us another 20 min to see everyone and to take many photos. Highly recommended!

UNESCO world heritage says all. Impressive temple complex reminding of glorious Siam time.Fun fact is there are several shops you can rent traditional clothes and costumes that makes this aces very special seeing all the people looking like hundreds of years ago.

Famous ancient temple in Ayutthaya. Several tourists in the weekend. Thai costumes are available for rental from many shops in front of temple. Ideal to dress in ancient Thai costume and take a photos.

I was surprised when standing front of this place. Good place to visit, especially in afternoon cause you can view river front of temple. Can enjoy the boat tour as well. In afternoon,time of sunset, you feel so peaceful when listen many birds's sounds back their nests. Peaceful in countryside! The attractive point in ancient capital!

Many visitors were wearing Thai traditional clothes that can be rented at the shops near the entrance (opposite the road). With or without the costumes, it is a great place for awesome pictures. The temple ruins are next to the river and I noticed some visitors arrived by boat. There are restrooms near the entrance.

Ancient temple which amazing architecture, where is reflect how was great and glow of Ayutthaya era. You can found a familiar architecture in Kmer but different landscape design and purpose. Opposite of the place have a costume rental shop in cheap price, but elegant in picture.

Really place to visit. Travel there by car. Lots of rental dress shops for everyone who wants to dress up the Thai traditional dress.

Fell in love instantly with this place and I would get obsessed to live next to here if it's not too hot and humid. Really liked the cafe with Aircon and clear view of the Wat (even tho it's quite pricey). Recommended to visit with a guide so that you'll learn the history of the place.

Super interesting place to go and it is really fun to see people in the traditional dress taking pictures. Come a little before sunset so you can see it all, then stay to see it all lit up for amazing pictures. Pro tip: bring your big spray!

Wat Chaiwatthanaram (Thai: วัดไชยวัฒนาราม) is a Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, outside Ayutthaya island. It is one of Ayutthaya's best known temples and a major tourist attraction. #wikipedia. Here we can rent traditional Thai costumes and take photos. Many wore traditional clothes and took photos around the temple Toilets are available and cost 5 baht 

Bought a private tour online and our tour guide is great and lets us explore by ourselves and tells us some random facts and helped us around. No shelter except for entrance area and toilet need to pay but overall a good place for photoshoot and explore ruins. Wouldn't need to spend too much time there in general. Can buy food to feed those poor doggies

We visited here around sunset by boat tour, beautiful ruin to visit. Large area to visit, can be crowded. cost of 50 baht. We really enjoyed ourselves here. Highly recommend visiting as this is one of the bet wat's to see. 3btraveler

Tickets for Thai people 10 baht but foreigner 50 baht that injustice😒. But I like this place very sanctuary and quiet. I think in 1995 this location use "New line cinema 🎥 " company for movie Mortal Kombat 😀 film of my childhood😇😇😇. Here really nice view.

Great temples, well worth a visit. Well preserved and presented, easy to walk around without guide. I gets very hot so an umbrella can be useful for protection.

04 NOV 2022. I went into the toilet in the parking lot to wash my hands for a while and had to hear the blame from the cleaning woman. Shouting like this, "go go no no, ไปเลย" There was no sign stating that entry was prohibited because it was being cleaned. Before I even entered the temple, I felt very bad. The temple was under construction. There is an entrance fee of 50 baht (foreigners) for each small historical site. Perhaps I will never come to Ayutthaya again.
