Ayutthaya - Video Guide of Thailand's Ancient Capital City
Ayutthaya is one of the most popular places to visit near Bangkok. Read my full guide to Ayutthaya here:
Visiting Ayutthaya, Thailand, is one of the best day trips to take from Bangkok. It's Thailand's ancient capital city, second after Sukhothai. The city has a very long history with many ups and downs. It was overthrown by the Burmese in the mid 1700's and many of the gems and treasures from the temples were moved the Yangon at the Shwedagon Pagoda (another very impressive site if you visit Burma). I have visited Ayutthaya a number of times while living in Thailand, but a few weeks ago I joined a small travel blogger group and we toured a few of the most important temples, and I also snuck away for some food and refreshment! The Ayutthaya historical park is the most significant section of the city, an area where there's a concentration of temples and historical sites to visit. The city in now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The first temple we stopped at was Wat Yai Chai Mongkon (วัดใหญ่่ชัยมงคล), a must visit temple in Ayutthaya. The temple is recognized by its huge chedi that leans a little to the side, sort of like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. At the site, you can then climb a flight of stairs to the middle level section that offers a nice view of the surroundings. Surrounding the temple are many statues of Buddha, most of them wrapped in orange cloth and in many symmetrical patterns. Just like Wat Pho in Bangkok, there's also a reclining Buddha, though this one made of stone and wrapped in yellow cloth instead of gold. I had visited the temple before, but had never stopped to see the palace of King U-Thong and his many roosters. After Wat Yai Chai Mongkon (วัดใหญ่่ชัยมงคล) in Ayutthaya we proceeded to Wat Phanan Choeng (วัดพนัญเชิงวรวิหาร), a temple that's famous for housing a 19 meter high golden seated Buddha. The temple is a cross between traditional Thai and Chinese beliefs so there are lots of cross similarities and the temple is very Chinese Confucian in appearance. There are many section of Wat Phanan Choeng (วัดพนัญเชิงวรวิหาร), and you can spend some time walking around each section of the temple. It's nearly always busy and bustling with people, especially on the weekends. Finally, the famous Wat Mahathat (วัดมหาธาตุ) is one of the most visited and well known temple complexes in the Ayutthaya historical park. It's the temple where the famous head of Buddha wrapped within the banyan tree is - that's always a favorite place for everyone to take pictures! The rest of the temple is not in that great of condition, but it's mostly in ruins. The temple is still nice to walk around for a few minutes.
Ayutthaya is hot, and when you are walking around the temples, you're going to sweat for sure! So be prepared for the sun and always remember to drink plenty of water. I also like to stock up on hydration by having a fresh coconut to drink the water. Finally, whenever you visit any city in Thailand it's important to eat and to bring back some of the local speciality snacks. In Ayutthaya there's nothing more famous than a sweet called roti sai mai (โรตีสายไหม), and if you don't eat this, many Thais will say you didn't even go to Ayutthaya. It's basically a thin crepe pancake that's combined with cotton candy like sugar, wrapped into a little taco and consumed. It is very sweet and full of sugar, but it is the taste of Ayutthaya and should be sampled! Have a great trip visiting the ancient capital city of Thailand!

Ayutthaya Discovered: Wat Phra Sri Sanphet & The Grand Palace
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet & The Grand Palace.
Founded in 1350, Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital, after Sukhothai. It was destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century. Its remains, characterized by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of its past splendour. Today the ancient city is a UNESCO Heritage site centred around the Ayutthaya Historical Park.
The three chedis of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet are one of the landmarks of the Ayutthaya Historical Park.
The temple was founded on the site of three earlier prasats built in the mid 14th century by King U-Thong, the sovereign who made Ayutthaya his capital. In 1448 the prasats were converted into phutthawat, transforming them into sacred territory. From then onward, the temple was used exclusively by the Ayutthayan kings; there were no residing monks, and the temple was used for royal ceremonies and for storing royal relics.
The temple's tangible history began around 1491, when King Rama Thibodi II built two chedi for close family members. The east chedi was for the ashes of his father, King Borom Trailokanath (r. 1448-1488). The chedi to the west was for his older brother, King Borom Rachaithirat III (r. 1488-1491).
Seven years later King Rama Thibodi II added a viharn (assembly hall--shown in black) to house a standing image of the Buddha called 'Phra Si Sanphet'. After the Buddha was unveiled, the fame of the temple spread and the entire temple was given the name of the Buddha statue. The final chedi was constructed during the reign of King Borom Rachathirat IV (r. 1529-1533) to house a relics of King Rama Thibodi II.
The temple reached the peak of its glory by 1767. On the eve of the Burmese invasion, the central portion of the temple included three gilded chedis, three gilded mondops (square buildings adjacent to the chedis that held objects of worship), and two enormous viharns. The main Viharn was build in 1499 by King Rama Thibodi II and housed a large figure of the Buddha. Almost 200 kilo of gold was used to cover the image, which was given the name 'Phra Si Sanphet'. When the Burmese sacked Ayutthaya in A.D. 1767 the gold was removed by the invading forces. The remains of the Buddha image were later moved to Wat Pho in Bangkok during the reign of Rama I. Only the three Chedi were left intact.
The Royal Palace was completely destroyed during the invasion and only a few foundations walls remain today.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhol, temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand. (1)
Wat Phra Choa Phya Thai, popularly known as Wat Yai Chai-Mongkhol is situated to the southeast of the city. The Large Chedi there can be seen from a great distance. This monastery was built by King U-Thong in 1357 A.D. For the use of the monks who had returned from Ceylon after studying under Phra Vanarat Maha Thera. This body of monks were known as the Pa Kaeo sect. So this monastery was originally known as Wat Pa Kaeo. The monks of this sect were engaged mainly in meditation. Many people who respected these monks joined their order. The king conferred the title of ( Somdej Phra Vanarat ) on the head of the sect, and appointed him the Patriarch on the right hand side. He was on a par with Somdej Phra Buddha-kosacharn who headed the sect mainly engaged in the study of the scripture, and was known as the Patriarch on the Left Hand Side.
This monastery was the place where the Patriarch stayed, so it was also named Wat Chao Phya Thai, which means The Temple of the Supreme Patriarch.
At one time, in the convocation hall of this monastery, Prince Thian-raja ( later King Maha Chakraphat ) sought to learn his luck through the ordeal of the lighted candles before he dethroned Khun Vora-Wongsa. On another occasion a favourable moment from overthrowing King Maha Chakraphat in 1561 A.D.
???????? АЮТТАЙЯ. ВЕЛИКИЙ ХРАМ БЛАГОДАТНОЙ ПОБЕДЫ ???? ANCIENT AYUTTHAYA WAT YAI CHAI MONG KHON, MONGKHON
Этот vlog - 7-й фильм о нашем 2-х дневном путешествии своим ходом в Аюттайя из Бангкока. Влог посвящен храму WAT YAI CHAI MONG KHON (Wat Yai Chai Mongkol или Mongkhon Temple) в Аюттайя. Это один из главных и самых красивых храмов в районе Аюттхая. Свое настоящее название ВЕЛИКИЙ ХРАМ БЛАГОДАТНОЙ ПОБЕДЫ (тайск. วัดใหญ่ชัยมงคล) получил во времена правления короля Naresuan в честь победы над Бирмой.
Монастырь был построен королем U-Thong для размещения монахов прибывших с Цейлона. Этот монастырь был назван «Wat Pakaew».
По возвращению в Аюттхая со сражения в Nong Sarai в 1592 г, King Naresuan заказал восстановление, расширение храма и главный чеди монастыря. Победа над Бирмой привела к новому названию храма - Wat Yai Chaiya Mongkhon - Великому Храму Благодатной Победы.
Провинция Аюттхая (Аюттайя, Аюттхайя) находится в центральной части Таиланда. Название провинции, как считается, происходит от «Айодхая» из эпоса Рамаяна (от санскритского слова «Айодхье» - неприступная), столицы империи и легендарной родины Рамы – героя древнеиндийского эпоса Рамаяна. На печати региона изображена хижина и растущее позади него дерево (в христианстве - символ Креста). По преданию, король Раматхибоди нашел на этой территории красивейшие раковины, и таким образом, выбрал эту землю в качестве места постройки будущей столицы. Он положил раковину на пьедестал, а вокруг нее была построена хижина.
Древняя столица Сиама Аютия - остров в месте слияния трех рек: Chao Phraya River, the Lopburi River and the Pa Sak River. Размер острова 2,5 на 4,5 километра.
К 17-му веку Аюттхая стала одним из самых процветающих городов Юго-Восточной Азии, и возможно, одним из самых крупных городов в мире. В общей сложности здесь проживало около 1 млн жителей. На троне Аюттайи сменилось 33 короля, и каждый из них оставил свой след в архитектурном облике столицы. До падения государства насчитывалось 375 храмов, 3 королевских дворца, 29 километров городских укреплений, а число городских ворот доходило до 100. По приказу монархов прорыли 50 каналов. Торговые пути шли через Аюттайю и связывали различные регионы арабского мира, Китай, Индию, Японию.
Бирманцы вторглись в Аюттхая в 1767 г и почти полностью сожгли город и сровняли его с землей. Сегодня лишь немногие руины дают представление о впечатляющем городе. Большей частью развалин являются храмы и дворцы, это были единственные здания из камня в то время. Большое культурное значение руин Аюттхая официально признано в 1991 году, когда исторический город стал объектом Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. Близость к Бангкоку делает его популярным местом экскурсий туристов и путешественников.
Большинство руин храмов находится на историческом острове. Но есть очень красивые храмы, которые находятся и вне острова. Исторический остров мы уже практически весь облазили в наше прошлое путешествие четыре года назад.
Храм WAT YAI CHAI MONG KHON находится на восточном берегу у острова. По логистике, посещение этого храма хорошо совмещать с посещением железнодорожного вокзала или поездкой из летнего дворца Банг Па-Ин. Здесь расположена одна из 4-х статуй Лежащего Будды в Аюттайя - Reclining Buddha Image - Sleeping Buddha. Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon открыт ежедневно с 8 утра до 5 вечера.

Life in a day - Ayutthaya
Our journey takes us to this beautiful ancient kingdom of Ayutthaya.
Ayutthaya is the capital city of Ayutthaya province in Thailand. It was founded as the capital of Siam in 1350 by King U Thong, who escaped there from a smallpox outbreak in Lop Buri. It was chosen for strategic reasons: it is surrounded on all sides by rivers and a man-made canal, which acted as barriers against Burmese invaders. Following its founding, the kingdom flourished. Its kings poured wealth into the construction of temples and religious monuments as well as the arts.
Ayutthaya's wealth attracted traders and emissaries from across the continent as well as Europe. At its height of prosperity, Ayutthaya maintained close diplomatic and trade ties with Louis XIV's court in France, Portugal, Holland, Persia, China and Japan. It fell in the final battle of the Siamese-Burmese Wars in 1767, when it was ransacked and burned completely to the ground.
Ayutthaya is now the home of the Ayutthaya historical park, the ruins of the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam. It is now recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is located about 76 kilometers north of Bangkok, and it is certainly not something you want to miss. It houses four temples of the Early Ayutthaya period, as well as many other elaborate temples and ruins, including the only temple in Ayutthaya that survived post-war looting and arson attacks.

Ayudthaya: The Ancient Capital Of Siam, Thailand
Ayudthaya: The Ancient Capital Of Siam. Ayudthaya is The Thai Monument Of How Thais Are Rising To Win And Free Themselves With The Historical Victory Over Their Enemies. Hence, Bangkok Is The Upcoming Capital Of Siam Afterwards And Forever.
Ayutthaya was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong. It was the capital of Thailand (then called Siam) for 417 years from 1350 until it was sacked by the Burmese army in 1767. During this era, now usually referred as the Ayutthaya period or Ayutthaya kingdom, Ayutthaya was ruled by 33 kings of 5 different dynasties. The Kingdom became a major regional player, and a trade center of the East, a meeting point of European merchants and Asian traders. Notable monarchs during the Ayutthaya period include King Naresuan the Great, who liberated Ayutthaya from the first Burmese occupation and embarked on a reign of conquest, and King Narai the Great, who initiated diplomatic relations with the France, during the reign of Louis XIV. His reign was the golden age of trade and culture.
The city was positioned in a strategic position. During several months of the year, the flood plains around the cities would be flooded by the many rivers around the city. Enemy sieges were thus impossible, and forced to withdraw. This advantage was a contributing factor in the many failed Burmese invasions.
The ruins of the old capital in the Ayutthaya historical park have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since December 1991. The province is also home to the Bang Pa-in summer palace complex.
Originally named Krung Kao (กรุงเก่า), the province was renamed to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya in 1919.

Ayutthaya:
Ayutthaya (อยุธยา), full name Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (พระนครศรีอยุธยา), is an ancient capital and modern city in the Central Plains of Thailand, 85 km north of Bangkok. It is the Capital City of the Province of this name. In 1767 the city got destroyed by the Burmese army. Therefore the city is well known for it's impressive ruins and other relics of the city's glorious history.
Locations to visit in Ayutthaya:
Wat Chaiwatthanaram
Southwest off the island on Rt 3413. 08:30-17:00 daily. Considered one of the most imposing ancient Buddhist monasteries, this religious site was established by King Prasatthong in 1630 A.D. in homage to his mother. 50 baht.
Wat Phra Mahathat
Naresuan Rd (Across the road from Wat Ratburana). A large temple that was quite thoroughly ransacked by the Burmese. Several leaning prangs of Ayutthaya are still feebly defying gravity though, and the rows of headless Buddhas are atmospheric. This is also where you can spot the famous tree that has grown around a Buddha head. When taking pictures of you and the Buddha head, make sure you kneel to show respect, as it is considered holy by Thais. 50 baht.
Wat Ratchaburana
Naresuan Rd. This temple stands out for having a large prang recently restored to its original condition, clearly visible if you come in from the east. A major find of golden statues and other paraphernalia was made here in 1958, although much was subsequently stolen by robbers — the remnants are now in the Chao Sam Phraya Museum. You can climb inside the prang for nice views and a little exhibit. The mysterious staircase down, leads to two unrestored rooms with original paintings still visible on the walls. 50 baht.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
Sri Sanphet Rd. 08:00-18:00, daily. First built in 1448 A.D. during the reign of King Boromtrilokanath, this is the largest temple ruin in Ayutthaya. It once housed a 16 m high Buddha covered with 340 kg of gold, but the Burmese set fire to the statue to melt the gold and destroyed the temple in the process. 50 baht.
Wiharn Phra Mongkhonbophit
Sri Sanphet Rd. An impressive building that houses a large bronze cast Buddha image. It was originally enshrined outside the Grand Palace to the east, but it was later transferred to the current location and covered with a Mondop. Free.

Wat Yaichaimongkol The historic temples of Ayutthaya
ว่างๆครับ เลยเอากล้องไปเก็บภาพวัดใหญ่ชัยมงคลที่จังหวัดอยุธยา วัดแห่งนี้เป็นที่เคารพนับถือของชาวไทย และเป็นจุดหมายปลายทางการท่องเที่ยวของชาวต่างชาติครับ
.....Wat Yai Chaimongkon is located near the main Ayutthaya ruins and a short distance from the walls of Ayutthaya. It is famed for an impressively large statue of the Reclining Buddha inside the temple compound.
Built by King U Thong (Ayutthaya's first ruler) in 1357, the temple is also known as Chao Phaya Thai Temple and has a large Chedi that dominates the skyline. The Chedi was built in 1592 to celebrate King Naresuan's single-handed defeat of the then Burmese Crown Prince after an elephant back duel. The size of the Chedi was intended to match that of Phu Khao Thong - a Pagoda purportedly built by the Burmese which is visible in the distance from the temple. This is a great site to visit and wander around so give yourself plenty of time for a visit.
Ayutthaya Historical Park - Elephant Village, Floating Market

The Red Shirts demonstrate in Bangkok - 13 March 2010
The Red Shirts started to pour into Bangkok today as they aim for nothing less than overthrowing the government this weekend. The Red Shirts who support and are guided by the former Premier Taksin Sinwawatra in fact started arriving yesterday but numbers were small and a handful of rallies went almost unnoticed. Today however their campaign cranked up a gear and from very early morning vehicles loaded with demonstrators wearing the trademark 'red shirts' began rolling into the city, with the TV channels carrying live coverage as column after column came chugging through Ayutthaya, the country's former capital, which is just over an hour away northwards. Today the Red Shirts are forming up at the historic and symbolic Royal Plaza in front of the Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall, which is being turned into a giant car park for the weekend, a sea of red shirts and flags, as well as minibuses and pickups enveloping the towering equestrian statue of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). I get the bus from Victory Monument BTS Station. The station is unusually quiet for a Saturday, the bus is almost empty, shops have closed, and as I travel down Thanon Ratchawithi, it is also almost deserted. With fear of violence breaking out hanging in the air many Bangkok residents are staying well away. The whole length of Thanon Ratchadamnoen from Royal Plaza to Wat Ratchanatdaram has been given over to the protestors, with temporary shelters as well as P.A. systems and all manner of stands lining this usually gridlocked thoroughfare. The hub around which today's action will revolve is a red-themed stage at the intersection of Thanon Ratchadamnoen and Thanon Lan Luang in the shadow of Mahakan Fort, where music is playing and a large crowd is waving and excitedly cheering the passing traffic. This throng extends almost down a far as Democracy Monument. The police and army are in evidence at every turn, prepared for trouble with riot-shields and protective kit, but its a quite discreet presence today, they are keeping it low-key, but on standby and ready to react. The atmosphere is more one of a party, everyone is waving flags, cheering, shouting, blowing horns, singing and clapping - or fast asleep on the roadside. Water is constantly offered and hands are constantly shaken. So far the demonstration is good natured, everyone is cheery. But the avowed aim of the leaders is to bring the government down by Sunday night - and that isn't going to be achieved by a lively sing-song. While the majority of the Red Shirts are enjoying themselves the organisers have brought in their own guards, reportedly numbering 5,000, and these are huddled in clusters, in darker colours and many wrapped up - the present a more sinister side and the feeling is that trouble could be simmering. Any shift in a demonstration is always the work of a manipulating handful, and these may be them - or not as only time will tell. Events are moving fast, and rumours circulate round and round. It is reported that Thaksin Shinawatra has been kicked out of Dubai, which has been the base for his campaign, word says he's heading for Cambodia, then he Tweets his followers that he's making a trip to Europe, a wholly unconvincing line in the circumstances, which only adds to the speculation. There is talk that Arisman Pongruangrong, the leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship movement, has been arrested. Last week he ratcheted up the pressure on this weekend by calling on demonstrators to carry bottles of petrol and start fires if the protests were blocked, and he's also wanted in connection with the storming of the ASEAN summit in Pattaya last year. There are also reports circulating that homemade grenade launchers have been seized by the police from a car parts firm in Ayutthaya. The drama is unfolding. The Red Shirts continue to flow into Bangkok all day. Royal Plaza is packed solid with pickups and elderly buses by late afternoon with the traffic being funnelled into the giant square from Thanon Ratchawithi via Thanon Uthong Nai, which empties into it after winding its way round the Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall. It's hard to gauge exact numbers, but the crowd is in the tens of thousands at least, still along way short of the 600,000 to a million the organisers are hoping to bring in, and still short of a number that could send a government into retreat. However the Red Shirts are still flooding in, heeding the rallying call, and tomorrow is be the big day.
Ayuttaya 2009 Thailand
Ayutthaya (full name Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thai: พระนครศรีอยุธยา, pronounced [pʰráʔ náʔkʰɔ̄ːn sǐː ʔājúttʰājāː] (Pronunciation)); also spelled Ayudhya) city is the capital of Ayutthaya province in Thailand. Located in the valley of the Chao Phraya River. The city was founded in 1350 by King U Thong, who went there to escape a smallpox outbreak in Lop Buri and proclaimed it the capital of his kingdom, often referred to as the Ayutthaya kingdom or Siam. Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai.[1] Its remains, characterized by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of its past splendour.[2] It is estimated that Ayutthaya by the year 1600 CE had a population of about 300,000, with the population perhaps reaching 1,000,000 around 1700 CE, making it one of the world's largest cities at that time.[3] In 1767, the city was destroyed by the Burmese army, resulting in the collapse of the kingdom. The Ayutthaya historical park is the ruins of the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam.[4] It is the site of mass murder, rape and enslavement of Siamese people and destruction of the Ayutthaya city,[4] its art and buildings by the Burmese in 1767, which is recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was refounded a few kilometers to the east. The city is sometimes called Venice of the East
Robe Offering at Wat Phanan Cheong (Ayutthaya).MOV
Wat Phanann Choeng, dedicated to Ming Dynasty explorer Zheng He who visited Ayuthaya in 1407 is the most popular Temple in Ayutthaya, capital of Siam (now Thailand) during the 15th century. One of the major highlights of the temple, worshippers offer bolts of orange cloth (robe) to Phra Luang Por Phanancheong (San Bao Gong).
Wat Phanan Choeng has significant Thai-Chinese influence and is a popular pilgrimage destination for people to pray for Good Health, Happiness and Prosperity. In the process of of merit making, the robe is gently hoisted over the Buddhas shoulder - sits in the classic posture of Subduing Mara. It can be quite a spectacular sight!
The temple was built in 1324, 26 years before King U-Thong founded Ayutthaya.

Boat noodles at Kuay Teow Reua Pa Lek (ร้านก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือป้าเล็ก) - After visiting one of the famous temples in Ayutthaya, we then headed to eat boat noodles. The boat noodles were alright, but they weren’t the best I’ve had. They were actually a little on the sweet side for me, but still good.
Wat Mahathat (วัดมหาธาตุ) - Another one of the must see attractions in Ayutthaya, locate in Ayutthaya historical park is Wat Mahathat (วัดมหาธาตุ). One of the most well known sites at this temple is the head of Buddha which fell down and has been wrapped up inside the roots of a tree.
Freshwater prawns / shrimp at Rauen Sai Nam Restaurant (ร้านอาหารเรือนสายน้ำ) - One of the best reasons to go to Ayutthaya is to eat freshwater shrimp. They are absolutely sensational. On this day trip to Ayutthaya we drove over to a restaurant called Rauen Sai Nam Restaurant (ร้านอาหารเรือนสายน้ำ). The giant freshwater prawns were grilled with nothing on them, and they are truly some of the most amazing single ingredient things you’ll ever taste in your life.

Nakhon Pathom (Thai: นครปฐม, pronounced [náʔkʰɔ̄ːn pā.tʰǒm], (Pronunciation)) is one of the central provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are (from north clockwise) Suphan Buri, Ayutthaya, Nonthaburi, Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Ratchaburi and Kanchanaburi. The capital city of Nakhon Pathom Province is Nakhon Pathom.
Nakhon Pathom Province is home to the Phra Pathom Chedi, a chedi commissioned by King Mongkut and completed by King Chulalongkorn in 1870. The chedi is a reminder of the long vanished Dvaravati civilization that once flourished here and by tradition Nakhon Pathom is where Buddhism first came to Thailand. The province itself is renowned for its many fruit orchards.
Wat Phra Pathom Chedi Ratchaworaviharn is one of the main royal temple. Belonging to this temple is the Phra Pathom Chedi, the tallest pagoda in the world. The nearby branch of the National Museum displays mostly items of the Dvaravati times, most of them found within the Wat Phra Pratone Chedi.
Sanam Chan Palace was built by crown prince Vajiravudh 1907-10. It now houses one campus of the Silpakorn University as well as a King Rama VI museum.
Phutthamonthon is a large park devoted to Buddhism, located in the east of the province.
Suan Sam Pran is a big garden, located at Phetkasem Road. Nearby is the Sam Pran Crocodile farm, which includes a zoo and has elephant and crocodile shows.
The Jesada Technik Museum is located on the eastern edge of Nakhon Chaisri and has a large collection of old cars, trucks and planes.
Paya Kong, said to be a former ruler of Nakhon Chai Si, fathered Paya Pan who is said to have built the pagoda at Pra Pratone for his father and the Phra Pathom Chedi at Nakhon Pathom for Grandmother Hom who reared him. Historical evidence is not clear. Nevertheless, Paya Kong's statue near the central market of Nakhon Pathom is much revered.
