{{ March 24th Ayutthya and Wat Mahathat

This impressive temple complex was constructed during the 14th century. It collapsed early in its life and was restored, collapsing again in 1911. Today it is only partially restored.




And the much photographed head of Buddha encased in living tree roots.
