Conservation Project - Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Thailand
The ancient city of Ayutthaya was once the capital of the Kingdom of Siam. At the height of its power, the city undertook an ambitious construction program of monumental palaces, monasteries, and Buddhist temples. One of the most magnificent of these temples is Wat Chaiwatthanaram, built in 1630. This brief video documents WMF's efforts to protect and conserve the temple, which is threatened by recurring floodwaters.

Wat Chaiwatthanaram (Thai: วัดไชยวัฒนาราม) is a Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, outside Ayutthaya island. It is one of Ayutthaya's best known temples and a major tourist attraction.
Location
Wat Chaiwatthanaram lies on the west bank of Chao Phraya River, south west of the old city of Ayutthaya. It is a large compound part of Ayutthaya Historical Park; however not a part of Historic City of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It can be reached by road or by boat.
History
The temple was constructed in 1630 by the king Prasat Thong as the first temple of his reign, as a memorial of his mother's residence in that area. The temple's name literally means the Temple of long reign and glorious era. It was designed in Khmer style, which was popular in that time.
It has a central 35 meter high prang in Khmer style (Thai: พระปรางด์ประธาน) with four smaller prangs. The whole construction stands on a rectangular platform. About halfway up there are hidden entrances, to which steep stairs lead.
The central platform is surrounded by eight chedi-shaped chapels (Thai: เมรุทิศ เมรุราย - Meru Thit Meru Rai), which are connected by a rectangular cross-shaped passage (Phra Rabieng). The passage had numerous side entries and was originally roofed and open inwards, but today only the foundations of the pillars and the outside wall still stand. Along the wall, there were 120 sitting Buddha statues, probably painted in black and gold.
The eight chedi-like chapels are formed in a unique way. They had paintings on the interior walls, the exterior ones decorated by 12 reliefs depicting scenes from the life of Buddha (Jataka), which must be read clockwise. Just fragments of the paintings and the reliefs survived. In each of the rectangular chedis were two sitting Buddha statues and in each of the four middle chedis was one big sitting Buddha statue, also lacquered in black and gold. The ceiling over those statues was of wood with golden stars on black lacquer.
Outside of the passages on the east, close to the river was the temple's ordination hall (Phra Ubosot). North and south from the Ubusot stood two chedis with 12 indented corners (Thai: เจดีย์อมุมสิบสอง), in which the ashes of the king's mother were laid.
After the total destruction of the old capital (Thai: กรุงเก่า - Krung Kao) by the Burmese in 1767, from which Wat Chai Watthanaram was not spared, the temple was deserted. Theft, sale of bricks from the ruins and the beheading of the Buddha statues were common. Only in 1987 did the Thai Department of Fine Arts start restoring the site. In 1992 it was opened to the public.

Ayutthaya Historical City Wat Chaiwatthanaram | ONE OF THE GRANDEST RUINS OF THAILAND
Wat Chai Watthanaram was one of the grandest and most monumental ruins of Ayutthaya. It's one of Ayutthaya's best known temples and a major tourist attraction of Thailand. It's a restored ruin situated off the city island in the western area. It's a MUST VISIT place if you will go to Thailand.
Location: Address: Ban Pom, อำเภอ เมืองพระนครศรีอยุธยา Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya 13000
It's around 2 hours from Bangkok. It's not only for taking photos but it's better if a Thai can tell you the story behind this ruin. It will make your visit more interesting.
Spoiler: There's a funny thing there, when I tried to make fun of my wife and her friends and suddenly the umbrella almost fell in the river. Look at the reaction of her. It's also a MUST SEE! lol

Wat Chaiwatthanaram in Ayutthaya, Thailand
24 May 2014 - Exploring the nearly deserted temple of Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of many in Ayutthaya, Thailand's ancient capital. It's located just off the Chao Phraya River, and was one of the highlights of our visit to Ayutthaya after taking an overnight train from Chiang Mai. Perhaps what was so striking was the fact that we had the entire complex (almost!) to ourselves, admiring the exquisite architecture of the chedis and prangs...
