In the wealth of temples and ruins of Ayutthaya, Wat Mahathat is among the oldest. As we found out, it has much more to offer than the famous Buddha head in the roots of a tree.
After the pretty sight of the Buddha head in the base of the old bodhi tree, we continued walking the ruins. We saw platforms that had been effectively stripped of all their Buddha statues, which we could only imagined once lined the contours. We saw parts of solid walls that had once defined the side of a temple. We saw very few Buddha statues with their heads still intact - most had crossed legs, with a slender hand with long fingers on the right hand upper leg, and a body - but the heads were nowhere to be found. In fact, very few bigger Buddha statues still had their heads, and a yellow cloth, around them. Even though much has been destroyed at Wat Phra Mahathat, the nostalgia it invokes gives this place its very attractiveness.
