Stop At: Wat Phutthaisawan Temple, Samphao Lom, Ayutthaya Thailand
The stupa building in Putai Sawang Temple, built in 1353, is the earliest pure Thai style pagoda in Ayutthaya, with a white Khmer style pagoda in the middle, built according to the belief of Buddhist cosmology.

Built in 1424, Rajapurana Temple is a memorial to the royal brothers who died during the battle for the throne during the Ayutthaya period. It is the construction of a late stupa in Ayutthaya and was influenced by Khmer culture.

Mahathat Temple was built in 1374 and is one of the earliest Khmer stupas built in Ayutthaya. It was burned after a large-scale invasion in Myanmar. The ruined site still shows the spirit of the prosperous dynasty that year, and was included in the World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1991. The world-famous “Buddha Head” is a national treasure-level cultural relic in Thailand. In the concept of Thai Buddhism, the head of a Buddha kept by a tree is a very lucky sign.
