Wat Lokayasutharam

Why go

The long reclining figure gives a clear change of subject after Ayutthaya’s chedis and prangs. Approach it on foot to appreciate its length, then consider how little of the surrounding monastery still stands. It is useful as a brief pause in a wider cycling or driving route across the historic island.

What to look for

• Forty-two-metre reclining Buddha
• Open-air temple remains

Useful to know

• Check current monument access locally before setting a route.
• Carry water and use a cooler part of the day for exposed ruins.
