Wat Phutthaisawan or the Monastery of Buddhist Kingship is located on the south bank of the Chao Phraya River.
The temple was built in 1353 by King Ramathibodi I at the royal residence of "Wiang Lek", the site where he first settled before establishing Ayutthaya as the capital city in 1350.
The temple was constructed after his elder brother (the ruler of Suphan) defeated the Khmers and brought them back under the control of Ayutthaya in 1352.
The temple was likely built by the large number of enslaved Khmer inhabitants forcibly removed from Angkor to Ayutthaya at that time. The monastery was one of the first temples constructed and had a preaching hall and a great holy reliquary.
The old temple complex was enclosed by an outer wall measuring 192 meters in length and 92 meters in width. The vihara has its entry to the east and measures 48 meters in length and 16 meters in width. The main Khmer-style prang is surrounded by a square cloister.
