Chedi Phukhao Thong
Chedi Phukhao Thong
This site features a 50-meter-tall Buddhist chedi located in Phukhao Thong village on the outskirts of the city. Visitors go here to view the architecture and climb partway up the structure for a vantage point over the surrounding rice fields and the Ayutthaya cityscape.
Getting There
The chedi is located outside the main historical center. It is most commonly reached by hiring a tuk-tuk or renting a bicycle from the city center. The trip typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on the mode of transport.
Duration of Visit
Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the grounds and climb the stairs of the chedi.
When to Visit
Early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat, as the site is open to the elements. The area can become crowded during national holidays and peak tourist seasons.

- Wat Lokaya Sutharam (2km)
