Wat Chao Ya วัดเจ้าย่า Grandmother’s Monastery - Ayutthaya Thailand 2025 - With Drone Footage

Wat Chao Ya (วัดเจ้าย่า)

Wat Chao Ya or Grandmother's Monastery is located off the city island in the northern
area of Ayutthaya in the Khlong Sra Bua sub-district.

The monastery ground was split into two parts by a modern road. Archaeological evidence indicates that Wat Chao Ya dates from the Early Ayutthaya period (1351 - 1491). The Khmer style was the prominent style during this time and was used within the temple compound. There are also structures in situ from the Middle (1491 - 1629) to the Late Ayutthaya periods (1629 - 1767).

In the Ayutthaya era the temple would’ve been accessed by a canal that runs along the west side. Now the temple is in ruin but during the Kingdom of Ayutthaya this would’ve been a thriving temple, as indicated by the size of the temple grounds.
