Wat Yai Chaimongkhon
First established by King U-Tong and monks ordained in Sri Lanka during a period when Sinhalese-style Theravada Buddhism was becoming hugely popular in Siam, the temple went on to serve as monastic residence of Ayutthaya’s supreme patriarch monk. According to historical reports, King Naresuan slayed the Burmese crownprince in an elephant duel to end a war in the late 16th century, after which he commissioned construction of the towering stupa that still stands today. Built from brick and plaster in the Sri Lankan style, the 72-metre-tall stupa is the only one of its kind that still stands in Ayutthaya. A steep stairway leads high up to the top of the colossal base, where a crypt houses several Buddha images.
