History of "Wat Chaiwatthanaram" It is a temple located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River outside the city island. It is a temple that King Prasat Thong, the 24th King of Ayutthaya (2173-2198), ordered to be built in 2173. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful ancient sites. And this temple is the burial place of Prince Thammathibet (Prince Kung), a great poet of the late Ayutthaya period, and Prince Sangwan, who was punished by flogging to death during the reign of King Borommakot. Things worth seeing in the temple include the Phra Prang Sri Rattana Mahathat, which is the main prang of the temple, located on a square base and has four directional prangs at the corners. The fact that King Prasat Thong, the king of the late Ayutthaya period, built a large prang as the main prang of the temple is like reviving the art of the early Ayutthaya period, which liked to build prangs as the main prang of the temple, such as the construction of prangs at Wat Mahathat and Wat Ratchaburana. Because he brought Cambodia under his rule, he brought Khmer architectural styles back into the construction of the prangs once again. There is also a gallery around the main prang. Inside the gallery, there is a stucco Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya posture. The gallery walls are made of bricks and mortar with false railings in the shape of a kudun pattern. The ordination hall is in front of the temple. Inside, there are remains of the main Buddha image, which is a Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya posture, made of sandstone. The sema stones of the ordination hall are made of greenish stone. Carved in the pattern of the traditional pattern and the pattern of the coiled stems and the twelve-angled recessed pagoda. In front of the chapel, there are two pagodas with a base 12 meters wide and 12 meters high, which is considered an art that began to spread since the reign of King Prasat Thong. ..
