Wat Khok Phraya - Temple Ruin & Royal Execution Site - Ayutthaya Thailand 2025

Wat Khok Phraya วัดโคกพระยา or the Monastery of the Mound of the Nobles is a small monastic ruin built in the Early Ayutthaya period (1350 - 1488 AD). It is located north, just outside of the city island.

The location has been the site for many punishments and executions of royals from the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It was here that the young King Thong Lan, son of King Boromaracha I was executed by Ramesuan, the governor of Lopburi, in 1388. The method used in Ayutthaya during that time was to tie the victim in a velvet sack, and dash in their chest with a club of sandal-wood. By this means the royal body was not touched.

There were many others that were executed at this site during the Ayutthaya period of Thai history. If you want to read more about it here is a brief history.

Khuk Khi Kai (Chicken Poop Prison), Tuek Daeng & Laem Sing Beach - Chanthaburi Thailand 2025

Khuk Khi Kai

Khuk Khi Kai, also known as the Chicken Dung Cell or Chicken Poop Prison, is a former prison located in Laem Sing, Chanthaburi, Thailand. It was built by the French in 1893 during their occupation of the area as part of the Franco-Siamese conflict, to imprison Thai resistance fighters. The square-shaped tower is made from red bricks and is 4.4 meters wide and 7 meters tall, with two rows of slits along the sides. The resistance prisoners were kept on the ground floor of the tower, while above them was a chicken coop. The floor between them was perforated, allowing chicken faeces to fall down on the prisoners below, as a form of torture. The tower was abandoned after the French withdrew in 1904.

Some sources suggest that the story of the prison being used to subject prisoners to chicken poop may be apocryphal, and that the building was only an observation tower. However, the prison is still known for its gruesome past and is a historical site in Chanthaburi province.
