Do they know where all the Buddha heads were taken? And how? That must have been some heavy loot to carry around. This temple is full of headless Buddha statues. One of the few Buddha heads left is wrapped up in the trunk of a banyan tree, it's quite a famed image in Thailand.
This was our last stop of the day in Ayutthaya, what an awesome city. And we only saw a few of the hundreds of temples and ruins in the area, this is the kind of place I could go back to over and over again.
I bet a lot of those heads are now in museums and private collections. Many heads from Borobudur in Java were also lopped off. These are great pictures though!
