One of the finest historical remains in the region. Its Khmer architecture evokes the temples of Angkor. It was built in 1630 as a tribute to the mother of the 25th king of Ayutthaya. The main prang is over 35 metres high, with 4 more modest prangs arranged around it at the four cardinal corners. A gallery of 120 Buddha statues completes the decor. The walls of the enclosures also feature reliefs depicting the life of Buddha. When night falls, the temple is illuminated to great effect...

Magnifique au coucher du soleil
C’est l’endroit idéal pour observer le coucher du soleil avec la rivière dans le dos.

un air d'Angkor....
Style effectivement différent des temples habituels du parc historique d'Ayutthaya, et situation en bordure de rivière qui rajoute de l’intérêt : accès par mini croisière très sympa, à faire en général en fin de journée = coucher de soleil en prime ! SUPER

Très beau temple, près de la rivière. On peut facilement y aller en vélo. Pour les enfants, c'est vraiment chouette car plusieurs boutiques louent et vendent des habits traditionnels juste en face du temple et de nombreux Thaïs viennent se faire photographier dans le temple avec de beaux costumes colorés et des ombrelles.

A little eccentric from the other temples but easily accessible by bike, this temple is largely detour! It is quite well preserved and has impressive towers. 50 Baths

Sans aucun doute le plus beau temple d'Ayutthaya ! Il rappelle les temples d'Angkor au Cambodge ! Rien que ce temple mérite le détour d'une journée à Ayutthaya depuis Bangkok ! A ne pas manquer !
