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.

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 River of Life festival, formally known as River of Life: Preserving Rattanakosin Heritage under Royal Benevolence, takes place across Bangkok’s historic old quarter from 24 to 31 July 2026.
Organized under the guidance of royal initiative projects and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the event centres on Mahakan Fort Park beside the Golden Mount and extends along the canals that encircle Rattanakosin Island, including Khlong Lot, Ong Ang and Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem.

Locals and visitors also refer to it simply as Wat Phai Khiao or in connection with its signature feature as the Naga Cave temple of Don Mueang.
The history of the temple stretches back more than a century to a time when the surrounding area was dense reed forest. A wandering monk settled there for the rains retreat, and local villagers constructed a simple residence for him.
Additional monks gradually joined, and during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) the land was formally granted for a permanent temple, which was established in 1901.
It was first named Wat Kok, or Reed Temple, after the landscape, before becoming widely known as Wat Phai Khiao once extensive green bamboo groves were planted on the grounds. The formal name Weluwanaram evokes the Bamboo Grove (Veluvana) offered ...
