Repeating Buddas Ayutthaya

When you visit Thailand its impossible not to see images of the Buddha everywhere you travel . Not just in temples I remember a small supermarket in Bangkok with a statue of the Buddha at the entrance to the store . These repeating Buddha statues were in the Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon in Ayutthaya.

 

Ayutthaya was founded in 1350, it was the second capital of the Siamese Kingdom. It flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, during which time it grew to be one of the world’s largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas and a centre of global diplomacy and commerce. This particular Wat ( Temple ) was constructed by King U-thong in 1357 A.D.
