This is probably one of the most famous temples here as it's been featured in several Hollywood movies such as Mortal Kombat. It's a very beautiful site with plenty of interesting features. It seems it's always used for events as when I was there, a crew was installing lights. Costumes can be rented outside if you want to have your photo taken in costume at this beautiful site

Wat Maha That is a must-visit for any tourist in Ayutthaya, Thailand. It is a beautiful and historic temple that is well worth a visit.

The temple is stunning. The main chedi is particularly impressive, and it is surrounded by a number of smaller chedis and statues. The temple grounds are also very well-maintained, and they are a great place to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Wat Maha That is also a popular tourist destination due to its role in the Thai drama "Love Destiny" . The temple was featured prominently in the drama, and it has since become a pilgrimage site for fans of the show.

I personally loved Wat Maha That. It was my favorite stop in Ayutthaya, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

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.

A majestic temple by the river, made famous but Thai dramas. Here you can rent traditional Thai costumes before entering the temple complex. If the weather gets too hot or rainy, umbrellas can be lent for free upon entering (thank you, Poysian - Thai herbal inhaler brand, for the umbrella sponsor)

I booked a day trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya through Tripadvisor with Big country experience. I absolutely recommend! We met up at River city at 7:00 for check in and departure was 7:30 in minibuses. Our guide was named Sam and he was such a great guide! Good information, well planned stops and many laughs.
Important to know is that even if it’s ruins you need to cover shoulders and knees. Four beautiful and impressive stops, including a tasty lunch between the third and forth stop. We were back in Bangkok at 15:00.

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 place to visit so much history and the little tuc tuc which we would recommend hiring by the hour 300bhat to travel between all the sights you want to see. Great day out but you would need a few days if you wanted to visit all
The temples.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Golden hour was amazing with the color of the temples just before sunset. Very scenic with all the people dressed in traditional clothing.
