Wat Phra Si Sanphet

The Royal Temple of the Three Chedis

This was the holiest temple in the Royal Palace of Ayutthaya, used exclusively by the King. Wat Phra Si Sanphet is famous for its three bell-shaped chedis (stupas) that stand in a perfect line. These iconic structures have been restored to show some of their original white plaster glory. It is a masterpiece of Ayutthaya architecture and serves as the model for the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) in Bangkok.

Opening Time: Daily, 08:00 – 18:30.

Location: Pratu Chai, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.
