Description Chaiwatnaram temple is one of important temples in Ayudhaya, Thailand. Ayudhaya was the capital of Thailand from 15th to 18th century. Because of that, Ayudhaya has a large number of temples. History is written that all temples were coated with gold. But gold was later melted and carried away during the invasion; revealing bricks underneath. I cannot confirm this though, since there's still some debates going on.

Nice!
The shots of such temple illuminated at night are quite rare...

Thank you In Ayuddhaya, most temples are lit up at night, because they are tourist attractions
