Ayuthaya one day trip

Hi! I am back on the road again. This is a day trip to old city of Thailand "Ayutthaya". I went with some ladies from my work... yeah i said ladies :)
Ayutthaya was a capital city of Thailand sometimes around 230 years something back. Now it has only some ruins left. This capital city was invaded and burned by our then enemy Burma.
I really like this temple. It is Wat Mahatat. It is so grand so big. I felt really calm and peaceful when I was in this temple.
This is really amazing. The head of buddha image is covered by big tree's roots. I think some it was cut and left here. So time has passed by and it remains here for hundreds years.
You can see that the temple was burned and the heads of buddha images were cut. It is a great loss for Thai architecture, culture and national treasure.



Big chedi.
