Wat Na Phra Men is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Tambon Khlong Sa Bua, 13000, Thailand
This temple is one of few temples in Ayutthaya which survived the war of Burmese Invasion. As the result, it still contains many original arts and styles from Ayutthaya period. Also, it is worth mentioning about the small temple housing one of the oldest surviving Buddha image in Thailand.
Surprisingly this beautiful and graceful ancient Royal Temple (constructed in 1503 AD), survived the ravages carried out by the Burmese, who completely destroyed the ancient city of Ayutthaya in 1767. Phra Buddha, crowned and dressed in royal garb, overlaid in gold leaf, presides over the Royal Temple, soaring to great heights (6 meters high). The giant Buddha oversaw a peace negotiation between the Kings of Ayutthaya (Siam) and Burma in 1569, who sat on royal thrones beneath Buddha. Smaller Buddha statues sit near the interior entrance of the Royal Temple, where pieces of gold-leaf adorn them, having been placed by worshipers. A Buddhist Monk may be present during your visit, also offering blessings to those who come to worship.
We hired a Tuk Tuk, for a day, to visit all the ruins and sites off the island, and started off by visiting this site across the Lopburi River, north of the Grand Palace area. It is about 2.5 km from Wat Mahathat. It was spared destruction by the invading Burmese army / destroyers because it was used as a base by them.Entry to this site was free. It is still used as an active temple by the locals. There are sign boards, illustrating its history and significance. The place was not crowded at 10 am. As usual, you need to remove your shoes to enter the building, discreet clothing is advised with the shoulder and knee covered and don’t point your feet towards the Buddha. The main exhibit is a 6-ft. Buddha dressed in royal attire. We spend about 45 minits here. Best to have your own transport as it may be difficult to get one here.
This wat is across the river from the main historic site, and it’s worth a visit for the well-preserved Buddha, the immaculate temple complex, and the Buddha head in the tree. Not the famous one, but there is one nonetheless!The main building is large and imposing, and you can see people putting gold leaf on the Buddha statues inside. Outside around the back are some old stupas, one is overgrown with a tree and if you look carefully you can see a stone Buddha head peering through the roots. Not the famous one like at Wat Mahathat, but WAY less crowded! This is a nice and peaceful place for a visit. Find this review helpful? Give it a thumbs up!
This temple is in a good condition and had a beautiful Buddha statue in royal garb. Please follow modest dress code.
Twoo reasons to visit, one is the main Viharn with the gorgeous Buddha from the Ayuttahya Period in full royal gear, a rare sight. But the small hall on the right sight of the temple, with its murals and its fantastic pre-Tahi period Buddha is the best sight in this sense, the country has to offer. Just wonderful!
Across the small bridge from Ayutthaya’s island, this huge temple has two buildings.Especially nice is the smaller size building with a very unusual and unique buddha statue.
Went to next site with a large and a small building. The Principal Buddha wasin the large building or ordination hall, the Royal Temple, from 1499. This gold Buddha has a crown and is called the Crowned Buddha Image. The small building had a stone Buddha 1500 years old. This site called Wat Na Phra Men – Rajikaram Royal Temple
I was brought to visit this temple about 2 decades ago when this temple was not listed in the world heritage area of Ayutthaya province. It was not that commercialized to tourist as nowadays. Nevertheless, it is worth to visit this pure Ayutthaya temple. The Ubosot itself shows the early Ayutthaya architecture with columns inside the building. Inside the Ubosot locates a distinguished large buddha statue, furnishing with royal attire and ornaments, it is hardly seen in Thailand. Besides the Ubosot, there is a small Viharn building which has a green stone Dvaravati Buddha statue, one out of five large Dvaravati Buddha statue in Thailand. The painting inside the Viharn is also interesting to see.
One of the few temples to escape Burmese wrath during invasion of 1767. Buddha idol is made of bronze with gold plated. Lot of locals co e regularly to offer prayers.
