Wat Ratchaburana, Ayuthaya














































Ayuthaya is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This was the first wat we visited in Ayuthaya, and I was struck by how different it is in style from the ones in Bangkok. These old wats are simply interspersed with home, markets, etc. It's thanks to UNESCO funding that these structures even exist today and are not torn down. These sites are such an incredible record of human history. The photo set can be seen here.
