got me interested on the picture.
i did some reading on the history of it.
Pictures Buddha Image & Temple at Wat Mahatat Ayutthaya, Thailand
Location Along Sikhun road near the terminus of Horattanachai and Naresuan
This is the famous site with the Buddha’s head inside of a tree.
It almost looks like the tree is giving birth to him.
Locals like to say that the tree lifted it off the ground since it was so holy.
Wat Mahatat is perhaps the most historically relevant ruin in Ayutthaya, however with the central prang collapsed it is hardly worth the 30 THB admission price.
Most of the structure can be seen from the outside gate.
There are some very unique chedis here, but the main highlight remains the Buddha’s head in the tree.
