Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took a Tuk Tuk from Chao Sam Phraya Museum to this place. There are 3 ruins nearby which includes the Wat Wora Pho, Wat Wora Chet Tha Ram and Wat Lokaya Sutha. This is not the best kept ruin and there was no crowd here. The main attraction here is the reclining Buddha. The ground behind the Buddha consisted of brick ruins along the ground.
Entry to this site, as well as the two other ruins mentioned, is free. The place was quite warm, therefore carry a hat, sun lotion and lots of water. We spend about 45 minits here. Best to have your own transport as it may be difficult to get one here.

Compared to other temples and sites in ancient Ayutthaya, this place is less popular to tourists, and yet it has a lovely 42-meter long and 8-meter tall statue of a reclining Buddha. This in itself is worth-seeing. You can have your pictures taken with it and walk around the rest of the archeological site.

It is a really inspiring place. We liked to give lotus and incense to the Buddha. Just a three minutes walk you find Ayutthayas most beautiful small cafe (right hand side on the back of the Buddha) Baan Khon Suan. Best Italian coffee in town. Birds and plants and water and temple view all over. Friendly owner.

We approached this reclining Buddha on foot, from behind, and wow! We could not believe how huge it was, and that there was almost no one there! It's a bit of a farther walk from Wat Mahathat, but so worth it! It is worth the effort, as you may have Buddha all to yourself. There are several snack and souvenir stands nearby. Enjoy!

Temple of the Reclining Buddha and whole Ayutthaya is simply amazing. If you do not want to stay in Bangkok, Ayutthaya is perfect choice 1-2 hours far from Bangkok, calm, nice, friendly city. Temple of the Reclining Buddha is one of the most impresive place and thing in Ayutthaya. Open air and free entrance 24/7. There is very nic golden hour before sunset.

This is an amazing place to visit, we were fortunate to have a tour guide accompanying us. This place is steeped in history over many hundreds of years. Unsure about all of it but many kings had a hand in building this huge figure. Really easy to access. Lots of layers and subtleties with this holy place. Thoroughly recommend this one for families as there is plenty of room to look around.

I liked the temple very much. The level of detail in the exterior is amazing and of course the lying Buda is big and impressive. I’ve two small kids so we went without a tour and did it pretty quickly which worked amazing for us.

In fact, not much to see except the reclining Buddha with a length of approximately 40 meters.
As for the rest of this Wat, only some minor ruins remain.

I only went there as I love street fighter 2. Worth it - it's free. I made a video with a random cool Japanese tourist of us playing in real life. Friend for life.

It is unbelievable statue of Buddha , huge and very unusual. However sad to see how it's getting affected with climate and not much of the protective screens or shelter is done
