Wat Phai Lom (วัดไผ่ล้อม, also known as the Bamboo Encircled Temple” is a fascinating abandoned temple from the late Ayutthaya period in the heart of old Phetchaburi town, Thailand. It’s a hidden gem among Phetchaburi’s historical sites, often overlooked in favor of more prominent temples like Wat Mahathat Worawihan or Wat Kamphaeng Laeng, but it stands out for its atmospheric ruins and intricate surviving artistry.
Wat Phai Lom was constructed during the late Ayutthaya era (roughly 17th–18th century, toward the end of the kingdom before its fall in 1767). It was built in what was then the old city area of Phetchaburi, reflecting the province’s role as a cultural and religious center influenced by Ayutthaya’s architectural and artistic styles. The temple likely served as an important local monastery, possibly with significance in Buddhist education or community rituals, given its elaborate decorations.
After the Burmese sack of Ayutthaya in 1767, many peripheral temples fell ...
Port FC sit in 3rd place, just two points behind Ratchaburi and with a game in hand over several teams above them. A win tonight would keep their AFC Champions League Two qualification hopes firmly alive and apply pressure on the top two.
Port FC, the league’s most in-form home side in recent weeks, welcomed bottom-half Lamphun Warrior looking to bounce back strongly after a goalless draw at Muangthong United last weekend. The home side boasted a solid defensive record (only 19 goals conceded all season) and dangerous attacking options led by Brazilian forward Kaká Mendes and winger Bordin Phala.
Lamphun, fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone, arrived with one of the league’s poorest away records and had struggled to score consistently on the road. Port dominated possession from the start and wasted no time breaking the deadlock.
The match was effectively over inside the first 23 minutes as Port raced into a commanding three-goal lead:
• 4’ – Worachit Kanitsribampen opened the ...

The large complex is surrounded by a wall with several large elaborate entrance gates. The Wat Mahathat Worawihan comprises of five large prangs, a viharn, an ubosot, several chedis, the kuti and several other monastic buildings. Most eye catching are the five white prangs towering above the area, that are visible from much of Phetchaburi.
The founding date of the temple is unknown, it is believed that Wat Mahathat dates back to the late Mon Dvaravati era or the Khmer era. Objects found during excavations suggest the first structures were built between eight to ten centuries ago. Today nothing remains of the original structures. The prangs have been rebuilt and enlarged many times over the centuries.
At the center of the Wat Mahathat is a large courtyard enclosed ...
