Ayuthaya ruins

This is in a temple (Wat) in Ayuthaya, about 70 km north of Bangkok. A city surrounded by a wide canal, it was named from the Sanskrit word for 'unassailable' or 'undefeatable'.

When it was besieged and overthrown by the Burmese in 1767 this Wat was used as an army camp by the invaders, and every Buddha image was beheaded.

There is quite a lot of them. Wonder if the soldiers began to grumble about being put on beheading duty again...
