Wat Phra Ram

Ayuthaya


Wat Phra Ram's tall main prang (Khmer-style spire) isn't in the best condition, but it's definitely worth a visit. The temple was constructed on the cremation site of King U Thong (the Ayuthaya kingdom's first sovereign), perhaps in 1369, though details are unclear. Despite being next to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the site attracts only a trickle of tourists.
