This week’s travel photo is of some towers and chedis in the ruins of Wat Chaiwatthanaram in the ancient Siamese capital of Ayutthaya, Thailand. Wat Chaiwatthanaram is located outside of the main island of Ayutthaya and is one of the most well preserved ruins in the city.

Beautiful red brick layout. I wonder if that’s natural or if it was done purposefully.
Hey Nick. I think the bricks are naturally that colour from the dirt that was used. It is certainly an interesting effect. Cheers!

Very jealous of this great photo and view. Would you know how old these are, about?

Hey Kurt. These ruins date back to the early 1600′s I believe.
I like the intensity of the colours! Looks like a great place to wander around.
