Wat Mahathat
What can I do here?
Snap a photo of the legendary Buddha head wrapped in tree roots—it’s one of Ayutthaya’s most photographed images. While no one knows exactly how it ended up there, it’s believed the head was left behind during the Burmese attack and looting, and over time, the tree roots simply grew around it.
