Wat Prasat วัดปราศาท - Monestary of the Castle - Restored Ruin in North Ayutthaya - Thailand 2025

Wat Prasat วัดปราศาท

Wat Prasat or the Monastery of the Castle is located off the city island in the northern
area of Ayutthaya in Khlong Sra Bua area.

The monastery was situated in between Wat Phraya Maen and Wat Jong Krom in an
area called Thung Khwan. Wat Prasat stood northwest and adjacent to Wat Jong
Krom. It is only accessible by a dirt road just to the west of this temple. It’s also in a low area that is prone to flooding so it may be inaccessible during the rainy season.

The site, which is roughly 140 meters long on 100 meters wide, has been excavated in
2016 by the Fine Arts Department. Different monastic structures were unearthed in situ.

There are other temples in and around Ayutthaya bearing the same name this this one being the largest.

Its historical background and period of construction are unknown and most of the ruins were in poor shape prior to restoration with functions and era of building being unknown.

The site is located near a couple other temples that are better preserved. If you are a lover of temples and their history this site is worth a short visit. If you are short of time this temple can be skipped.
