The first and the most memorable Wat I visited at Ayuthaya was the Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon. Also known as the “Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory”, it has a giant chedi that is the tallest structure of Ayuthaya today. To the left of the entrance, is a huge reclining Buddha, seven meters long, covered in saffron robe. After paying respects there We moved on to the ruins and I was enthralled to see the idols of seated Buddha all around the Wat. So many of them, all in a row, in different sizes, all dressed in saffron robes!
