Prasat Kravan ប្រាសាទក្រវ៉ាន់
This temple site consists of a series of 5 brick towers placed on a common, brick platform. The towers are open to the east and is aligned north to the south.
A second terrace is situated to the east which probably housed a now lost entrance pavilion, while a 130 squesr meter moat can still be seen although any possible enclosure wall is now missing.
The towers themselves are truncated, with upper sections missing except for the relatively intact central one. This temple's most famous feature is several large and well preserved brick reliefs of Vishnu. They are found in the central tower. Similar, equally spectacular reliefs, featuring Vishnu's consort Lakshmi, are to be found in the north tower.
Located 260m to the east is a small 240m x 130m rectangular seasonally filled man made reservoir, Baray Prasat Kravan.

Wat Singharam, known as the Monastery of the Lion, is a restored ruin situated on Ayutthaya’s city island. It stands on the grounds of what is now Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University. The site lies on the east bank of the remaining stretch of Khlong Chakrai Noi, directly opposite Wat Borom Phuttharam, with the ruins of Wat Suan Luang Khangkhao further south along the same canal bank.
The historical background and exact period of construction remain unknown. Evidence suggests it was possibly built during the middle Ayutthaya period (roughly 1488–1629) and later restored in the late Ayutthaya period (1629–1767). It predates the construction of the nearby Wat Borom Phuttharam.
Fragments of Chinese porcelain decorated with stucco designs were discovered at the entrance in front of the vihara; this style of decoration appears on other monuments restored during the reign of King Borommakot (1733–1758). A mid 19th century map labels the site as Wat Kot, likely a reference to that same ...
Kong Khong Market, also known as Bowing Market or Talat Kong Khong is located about 15 minutes south of Ayutthaya.
This market has a weird name because in the past vendors would lay their merchandises on the ground or in their boats. People who wanted to buy the goods had to bow their heads down in order to take a closer look at the items for sale.
This market was opened in 2006. It is a private market with the objective to allow the locals to have some space to open their shops. The market has been successful and has grown bigger until it has becomes the most interesting market in Ayutthaya. This market is open Thursdays to Sundays. On Thursdays and Fridays, customers are the locals or people working in nearby factories. During the weekends, customers who are tourists from other places in Thailand stop here.
Even though this market is not a big one, it has its own charm. All vendors wear Thai costumes in magenta or purple like the color of the mangosteen. The highlight of this market is the ...
