★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A hidden gem in historical park. Calm, peaceful and a good spot to take a picture buddha image with sun set in back ground. You can also play Trakraw, a traditional sport, with local people.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I like this temple and the Buddha statues. It’s off the main road and not busy. It doesn’t compare to others in size or grandeur but it’s nice.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Right next to Wat Lokkayasutharam.
There are 2 large statues of Lord Buddha there.
One near the Chedi in the photo, and the other in the ruins next door.
And also not far from the ruins of Wat Wara Pho.
It is also one of the must-sees in Ayutthaya, in my opinion.
