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.

This third-class royal temple of the worawihan type belongs to the Mahā Nikāya sect and is nestled along Khlong Bang Luang, offering a peaceful retreat amid the city’s bustle. Its origins trace back to the late Ayutthaya period, when it was originally known as Wat Sala Si Na, or the Four-Fronted Pavilion Temple, named for its distinctive chatumuk pavilion that served the local community. Though the temple’s exact founder remains unknown, it has endured through centuries as a sacred site.
The temple received its formal wisungkhamsima sacred boundary in 1777 during the Thonburi era. In the early Rattanakosin period, King Rama I graciously ordered a comprehensive restoration of the entire complex, including the ubosot ordination hall, preaching hall, and pavilion. He elevated its status to a royal temple and renamed it ...
