Wat Phra Si Sanphet

Wat Phra Si Sanphet was a notable Buddhist temple complex in Ayutthaya, Thailand, serving as the king's royal chapel during the 14th to 18th centuries. It was part of the Ayutthaya Palace and symbolized the kingdom’s religious and political authority. The site is famous for its three large, historic chedis (stupas or bell-shaped structures) that once held royal ashes. Today, it is a significant archaeological ruin and tourist attraction, showcasing impressive remains of Ayutthaya’s grandeur, and offering insight into Thailand’s rich historical and religious heritage.
