Wat Sangka Tha วัดสังขทา
Wat Sangkha Tha is located on the city island in the southwestern part of Ayutthaya. The temple is licsted in the Somdet Phra Sri Nakharin Park. Wat Sangkha Thae and Wat Chedi Yai are nearby Wat Chao Phram and several other ruins are located just east of here.
Being part of the Somdet Phra Sri Nakharin Park the ruin has been restored by the Fine Arts Department. The site consists of two monastic structures, an ordination hall and a wihan, both with a chedi.
Two other monastic structures are also nearby. A wihan called Wat Sangkha Thae or the "Monastery of the True Monkhood" and likely a bell or drum tower.
The whole complex is surrounded by a moat. All buildings were probably originally part of one temple but early maps show them as two seperate temples.
Its historical background and period of construction are unknown with most records being destroyed during the fall of the city to the Burmese in 1767. The Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya mention an ...

Chonlapratan Market (ตลาดชลประทาน / ตลาดกรมชลประทาน), also known as the Irrigation Department Market, is a popular traditional morning market in Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi Province (north of Bangkok).
It takes its name from its location on land associated with the Royal Irrigation Department, whose presence in the area dates back decades; the Nonthaburi Irrigation Project itself was formally organized in the late 1970s, and the market grew organically around these facilities as a practical trading place for local residents and workers.
Over the years it has expanded from a straightforward fresh goods venue into one of the better known traditional markets of the northern Bangkok fringe, retaining a classic early-morning character while the weekend second hand section received modest improvements such as concrete flooring and partial roofing.
The market occupies a sizable open and semi-covered compound near Tiwanon Road, large enough to ...
Wat Khae วัดแค
The temple was located on the west bank of the old Lopburi River, presently called
Khlong Hua Ro.
There are no indications in the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya when exactly the temple was built. Archaeological research situates the construction of the temple in the Early Ayutthaya period (1350 - 1485).
The temple was abandoned during the war of 1766-1767 and sacked by the Burmese.
Wat Khae or the Monastery of the Trumpet Tree is located off the city island in the northern area at Khlong Sra Bua in a field named Thung Kaeo. The village is called Ban Rang Khae. Wat Lamut and Wat Phisua stood in its immediate vicinity. The closest active temple, Wat Khrutharam is situated to the northwest.
The monastery consists of four principal pagodas, an ordination hall (ubosot), two
