Wat Lokaya Sutha is a massive temple ruin. It is aligned toward an east/west axis. The monastery has been heavily restored, including floor tiles and brick floors throughout. Most of the temple exists only at the basic foundation level. This includes some stubs of pillars and basic walls. At the eastern entrance are the remnants of three vihans. Behind these sermon halls is a large 30 meters high, Late Ayutthaya period, Khmer-style prang. This prang-tower has a hollow entrance on its eastern side. The remains of an ubsot can be seen behind the prang. Only the basic foundation layer has survived, but there are many sema stones and the detritus of Buddha images. A large bell tower stands on the southwestern corner of this ubosot.

The highlight of this temple is its enormous reclining Buddha image (37 meters long and 8 meter high), which is located behind the ubosot.

Worth the trip from Bangkok (recommend the train). Knowledgable guide and beautiful city and temples. We got to try traditional palm frond folding and experience a local market. Highly recommend!

This was a great tour! If you are worried about the bike part, dont! So worth the slow steady flat road ride through the city!

A well spent 3 hours seeing the highlights of Ayutthaya. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The bikes were in good condition and comfortable to ride. We travelled at a good pace, easily achievable by most people. Well worth doing

I couldn’t imagine seeing this site any other way! The ability to ride bikes through the Serene pathways from temple to temple made this sight seeing extra fun, and even provided for a little exercise. The bikes were very good quality. Additionally, our tour guide Bella was the best tour guide we had on our 2 week trip to Thailand. Her English was perfect - way better than any other tour guides in Thailand (who can be hard to understand). She also was extremely informative of all of the historical facts behind the temples, right down to exact years. She even was willing to speak a lot about the current culture of Thailand and state of their society and government, which satisfied my curiosity. Could not recommend this enough!!
