The whitewashed old prang stands impressive in its courtyard. There is also a Reclining Buddha Image. Be sure to walk all the way through the compound to find it.

Wat Mahathat, ancient temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand. ( 2 )
Wat Mahathat was a royal monastery and served as a seat of the Sangaraja, the head of the Buddhist monks of the Kamavasi sect, since the time of the Mahahthera Thammakanlayan, who was a contemporary of King Borommarachthriat 1 , and who built the Wat. Wat Mahathat used to house an unusual Buddha image made of green stone as Buddha seated on a throne. In the Rattanakosin period King Rama 111 had the image moved to Wat Naphrameru.
The construction of Wat Mahathat was begun during the reign of King Borommarachathirat 1 in 1374 A.D. But was completed during the reign of King Ramesuan ( 1388-1395 A.D. ) When King Songtham ( 1610- 1628 A.D. ) was in power the main prang ( Khmer style tower ) collapsed. The restoration work on the prang was probably completed in the reign of King Prasatthong ( 1630-1655 A.D. During the restoration the height of the prang was considerably increased. Wat Mahathat was restored once again during the reign of King Borommakot ( 1732-1758 A.D. ) when four portico’s were added to the main prang. In 1767 A.D. When Ayutthaya was sacked, the Wat was burnt and has since then been in ruins.
During the reign of King Rama VI in the Rattanakosin period about 1911 A.D. The main prang of the Wat collapsed again and looters seized the opportunity to dig for treasure. Only in 1956 did the Fine Arts Department undertake the excavations around the central area of the prang where the relics must have been kept. The relics of the Buddha were found in the Stupa within a seven - layer reliquary. Other antiquities were recovered as well, including Buddha images, votive tablets, covered boxes shaped like fish and golden plaques in the form of animals. All these objects are now at the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum. There is no clear historical evidence of this Lord Buddha’s head, but it is presumed that when Ayutthaya was defeated by the Burmese army in B.E. 2310 the Mahathat temple was set on fire and entirely destroyed and as its result most of the images and parts fell to the ground. The temple was deserted for more than a hundred years and many trees had grown at the spot covering the head or in B.E. 2500 when the Department of Fine Arts undertook the restoration might have gathered all the remains but could not complete. Second assumption is a thief might have tried to steal it, but due to its weight he could not carry it across the wall or someone had come to the scene and the thief left it there until the tree covered it as we see it today.

Wat Na Phra Meru or Men, Ayutthaya, Thailand
Literally the name of this temple means : the temple in front of the royal pyre. Royal prisoners (after being executed) were apparently cremated on the grounds. Wat Na Phra Men was built during the later Ayutthaya period.
The temple was constructed during the reign of King Ramathibodi II (1491-1529), the 10th king of the Ayutthaya Suphannaphum / Suphanburi dynasty in 1503 and received the name Wat Phra Meru Rachikaram. Wat Phra Meru occupied a prominent place in front of the Royal Palace. As its name indicates, it must have been established at a Royal cremation area.
Most temple Ubosoths of that period have been destroyed and only the base, with some walls, and supporting pillars remain. Often the ubosoths built during that time were quite large and impressive. The ubosoth of Wat Na Phra Men, though restored during the reign of King Rama III, give a good impression of how Ayutthaya temples and ubosoths of the late Ayutthaya period must have looked like.
The principal Buddha image at Wat Na Phra Men is seated in the 'subduing Mara' position, and wears royal attire. Its full name is : Phra Buddha Nimitr Vichit Maramoli Sisanpeth Boromtrailokanat. Buddha images were royal attire like this are typical for the later Ayutthaya period.

Wat Mahathat, Ayutthaya
Wat Mahathat is centrally located in the Ayutthaya Historical Park. It contained (contains?) relics of the Buddha. The previously huge main prang lies in ruins, but the compound abounds with smaller prangs and chedis. A Buddha Head entwined in a tree trunk, is arguably the most photographed item in all of Ayutthaya.

Conservation Project - Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Thailand
The ancient city of Ayutthaya was once the capital of the Kingdom of Siam. At the height of its power, the city undertook an ambitious construction program of monumental palaces, monasteries, and Buddhist temples. One of the most magnificent of these temples is Wat Chaiwatthanaram, built in 1630. This brief video documents WMF's efforts to protect and conserve the temple, which is threatened by recurring floodwaters.
