Wat Phukhao Thong

Amazing and very beautiful temple, and very peaceful as well. Another fact is very tasty local foods. They have only one food stall but the taste was awesome. We went there at last around 5:30 pm, very peaceful. No crowd, no noise and perfect peaceful and precious family time. Highly recommend!

Wat Phu Khao Thong – A Majestic Viewpoint with Historical Charm Located slightly away from the bustling center of Ayutthaya, Wat Phu Khao Thong offers a serene and less-crowded experience compared to other historical sites. The temple’s striking white chedi rises dramatically against the sky, making it an impressive sight from a distance and an excellent spot for photography. Climbing to the top can be a bit challenging, especially under the midday sun, but the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside are absolutely worth the effort. The golden spire gleaming in the sunlight adds a majestic touch to the structure, and the tranquil atmosphere at the top allows for a quiet moment of reflection. Entry is free of charge, which is a pleasant surprise in comparison to other sites. However, facilities are minimal, and bathrooms are not always well-maintained, so it’s best to prepare in advance. While Wat Phu Khao Thong might not have the same level of intricate ruins as other temples in Ayutthaya, its unique architecture and stunning views make it a worthwhile stop. Bring water, sunscreen, and a camera—you’ll want to capture both the grand structure and the sweeping vistas from the top.

This temple is far from the center. Very beautiful! I got there by bicycle and on the way, I saw some local villages and rice fields. Do exercise and take a deep breath. Very interesting!

Not many people going to this sightseeing, but in my opinion it is one of my best. There were few people and you can have really nice photos. Entrance is free. Reccomended borrow bicycle to trip in ayuthaya.

Wat Phu Khao Thong, also known as the "Golden Mount," is a stunning and tranquil landmark in Ayutthaya. The towering white stands majestically against the sky, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside from its summit. This peaceful site is rich in history and provides a serene escape from the bustling city. The climb to the top is rewarding, with panoramic vistas that capture the beauty of the ancient capital. Whether you’re a history lover or a traveler seeking inspiration, Wat Phu Khao Thong is an unforgettable experience that blends beauty, culture, and tranquility.

Very unique temple, very different from the rest in Ayutthaya. Surrounded by beautiful nature. Less tourists compared to other sites, so definitely worth travelling the extra distance.

This place is an epitome of beauty and human ingenuity. Buildings, sculptures that express beauty, can be seen by the human imagination. These Buddhist monasteries displayed happiness. The sculptures of the Buddha statue are amazing. We entered by taking five hundred baht tickets. The afternoon was hot so it was difficult to walk in the sun but it was nice to spend time in the six places.

A large off the beaten path victory monument. Entrance is free even for foreigners. After climbing the monument you can enjoy the view over more rural Thailand and also visit a small shrine in the monument. Really enjoyed my visit and when I went at 1 PM it was just me and two other visitors. Some small van vendors sell food, drinks and worshipping supplies.
