Wat Nang Kui วัดนางกุย
Wat Nang Kui or the Monastery of the Lady named Kui is an active temple located
off the city island in the southern area. The monastery is situated along the Chao Phraya River. To its west side lies Wat Khun Phrom and to its south Wat Mai Bang Kaja.
The monastery was built in 1587, a few years after the first fall of Ayutthaya. The construction was sponsored by a wealthy woman called Lady Kui, thus the name of the temple. After the second fall of Ayutthaya the monastery was left empty and neglected until in the Bangkok period during the Reign of King Rama III, the monastery was renovated.
The temple is actually known for its sandstone Buddha image, Mae Takhian Thong and Luang Pho Yim statue.
Historical data about the monastery is unknown.
From the temple you have nearly a straight view on Pom Phet or the Diamond Fort. It is assumed to have been occupied by the Burmese army in the last battle for Ayutthaya in 1767.
