Wat Mahathat and the Buddha Head in Tree Roots

Ruins of one of early Ayutthaya's key temples, whose main prang once held Buddha relics now kept at the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum. Its best-known sight is a sandstone Buddha head that fell to the foot of a tree and became wrapped in roots; foreign visitors pay 80 baht, with tickets sold until 17:00.
