This is probably the most attractive among the temples in restored condition. There are two separate temples and a Chedi within the compound. One of temples has paintings that shows the life story of KIng Naresuan. There is also a Bodhi tree in the compound which is from a branch brought from the Bodhi tree in India under which Lord Buddha had enlightenment.

This temple is located, about 3 km from Wat Mahathat. Entry to this compound is free, and you do not need a ticket here. This is not a ruin, but rather, an active temple, so discreet clothing is required. The place was not crowded and very few people were around. There are sign boards, illustrating on its history and significance.
The main attraction here, is the beautiful, Thai Style architecture and the mural paintings. There is also an ordination hall. There was a Bodhi tree in the compound, which originated from the Bodhi tree in India, under which Lord Buddha had enlightenment.
The place bounds to be hot, therefore carry a hat, sun lotion and water. We spend about 1 hours here. Transport is available to go back.

My family and I often go to Ayutthaya. But how could we missed this beautiful temple. We accidentally found this place after lunch with google map application (As the temple situated nearby the restaurant)
Despite the hot weather outside, when we arrived inside this temple i can feel that it's more cooler (maybe because there are a lot of tree). The atmosphere is very nice, quiet and peaceful. The painting are so special and marvelous.
So i think this temple is one of the must see place in Ayutthaya.

Wat Suwandaram is situated in a quiet 'corner' of Ayutthaya's 'island', pretty close to Pom Phet and the Riverview Palace Hotel.
It is an active temple, with two main structures, the oboist and the viharn.
In both buildings you see gorgeous mural paintings. On the grounds a huge holy tree gives a lot of shade.

One of the most serene and beautiful temple in Ayuthdyaya. Though it is not big in size but the architecture& landscape as well as painting on the inside wall of the hall about King Naresuan's battle on the back of elephrnt is worth to visit. Very few people on weekdays so u can appreciate the meditation or the pray on Ur own. The outside wall of the Ordinal hall has a Sag line architectural structure to make the Hall itself look resemble to a ship which carried the divine King to Heaven, which is one of the common architectural building back then in Ayuthdyaya stays when this temple was first built. Nearby is a famous restaurant called "Kuey Taew Pak Wan" . Strongly recommended for both the temple and the restaurant. Do not go to restaurant near lunch time-too crowded. U can read and see BV photos in the restaurant review.

Got here a little too early but they heard our tuk-tuk pull in and nicely opened the gate for us. Absolutely no one was there in the off season except for 3 or 4 monks.

Wat Suwan Dararam located outside Ayutthaya Historical Park. It's a very beautiful, clean, peaceful, old and interesting royal temple. I very enjoyed looking around and taking photos there.
