Wat Chedi Ai Khai (Wat JD) - Thailand

Wat Chedi Ai Khai, which it’s also known as Ta Khai Wat Chedi, or, according to the many signs directing you to the place, just Wat Chedi or Wat JD (JD sounds like Chedi) or even Wat Chedi Ikai (because Ikai sounds like Ai Khai.) Most people though, know it as The Chicken Wat.

It allegedly dates back more than a thousand years. A famous monk named Luang Phu Thuad was travelling south from Ayutthaya. That’s more than 1.000 KM away. He had with him a young disciple, nine or ten years old, named Ai Khai. When they arrived at the area of the present wat, they found “many treasures.” The young boy was instructed to stay there to look after the treasures.

There’s no mention of what happened to the place, the boy or the treasures, until the building, by now derelict, was rediscovered in 1957. After that, anyone who tried to sleep inside the ubosot, the main prayer hall was unable to unless they had asked for permission from the ghost of Ai Khai.

My Son Sanctuary Vietnam: Amazing Hindu Temples of the Champa Kingdom - Vietnam 2026

My Son Sanctuary, also known as Mỹ Sơn, stands as one of Vietnam’s most remarkable ancient sites and a powerful testament to the Champa Kingdom. Nestled in a serene, jungle-covered valley surrounded by mountains in Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam, the sanctuary lies roughly 40–50 kilometers southwest of the historic town of Hoi An and about 70 kilometers from Da Nang.

The Thu Bon River flows nearby, enhancing the site’s natural beauty and symbolic significance, as the valley was chosen to represent the mythical Mount Meru, the sacred center of the Hindu universe.

The history of My Son begins in the 4th century, when King Bhadravarman I established the first temples around 380–413 as a sacred religious center dedicated primarily to the Hindu god Shiva, worshipped here under the name Bhadreshvara.

Early structures were made of wood, but after a devastating fire in the 6th century, later kings rebuilt them using durable red brick, a hallmark of Champa architecture. Over the ...
