Phra Pathom Chedi Night Market or Talat Torung Ong Phra Pathom Chedi, occupies the open grounds and surrounding areas in front of the towering Phra Pathom Chedi, Thailand’s largest and most revered Buddhist stupa located in the heart of Mueang Nakhon Pathom District.
This vibrant evening gathering transforms the temple precinct into a lively food bazaar each day as the sun sets offering an extensive selection of Thai street food, local specialties, desserts, fresh fruits, and occasional non-food items like clothing or small souvenirs.

Kong Khong Market, also known as Bowing Market or Talat Kong Khong is located about 15 minutes south of Ayutthaya.
This market has a weird name because in the past vendors would lay their merchandises on the ground or in their boats. People who wanted to buy the goods had to bow their heads down in order to take a closer look at the items for sale.
This market was opened in 2006. It is a private market with the objective to allow the locals to have some space to open their shops. The market has been successful and has grown bigger until it has becomes the most interesting market in Ayutthaya. This market is open Thursdays to Sundays. On Thursdays and Fridays, customers are the locals or people working in nearby factories. During the weekends, customers who are tourists from other places in Thailand stop here.
Even though this market is not a big one, it has its own charm. All vendors wear Thai costumes in magenta or purple like the color of the mangosteen. The highlight of this market is the ...

Wat Lokaya Sutha, also known as Wat Lokayasutharam or Wat Lokayasutha, is a ruined Buddhist temple located in the northwest section of the Ayutthaya Historical Park. It stands directly west of the former Royal Palace and near Wat Phra Si Sanphet. The name has been interpreted as “Temple of the Earth” or linked to earlier references as Wat Lok Sutha, meaning the Monastery of the Celestial World. Its proximity to the royal palace, about 350 meters away, and the presence of a surrounding moat connected to nearby canals indicate that it once held considerable importance.
Little definitive information survives about its founding. The exact construction date remains unknown, though the architectural style of its central prang, which shares elements with those at nearby Wat Mahathat and Wat Ratchaburana, points to the early Ayutthaya period. Estimates place its origin in the fourteenth or early fifteenth century, with some sources associating it with the reign of King Intharatcha I, also known as ...
