Nakhon Luang Castle, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province
Nakhon Luang Castle is located along the river in Nakhon Luang Subdistrict, Nakhon Luang District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. It features ancient temple walls and numerous sacred items for worship inside. The journey from Bangkok takes only 1 hour. Nakhon Luang Castle is the largest building in Wat Nakhon Luang, and the best view of the castle can be seen from the lawn area (just walk through to the back of Sala Phra Chan Loi). From there, you can see the entire castle in a wide-angle view, showcasing the contrast between the old and the new. There are parts that remain as original exposed bricks and parts that have been plastered and roofed in later periods. Upon entering, you will encounter the ancient temple walls with sacred items for worship inside. You need to climb about two floors of stairs, and along the way, there are various spots to take beautiful photos of the temple. Once you reach the top, the first thing you will see is the statue of Ganesha sitting on a skull, located in front of the Four Buddha Footprints. It is believed that this posture is above ghosts, demons, and all evil things. Worshiping here is said to bring victory, dispel all evil, and ensure success in work, business, and wealth. Whatever you wish for will come true. This is a must-visit for spiritual believers.
