Our next stop was Wat Mahathat, the remains of a huge monastery complex, built mainly from red brick.

| Buddah's head entwined in the roots of a tree - see http://www.thaizer.com/tourist-attractions/buddha-head-in-tree-roots-wat-mahathat-ayutthaya/ for more details |
 |
| Most of the remaining structures lean precariously, the heat of the sun affecting the mortar between the bricks, methinks |
 |
| Most of Buddha's heads were removed by the Burmese when they captured the town |

| Our guide showed us a photograph of flood waters surrounding the Buddha in 2011 |
