Wat Kuti Sung
Wat Kuti Sung (วัดกุฏิสูง) is a small and abandoned temple located in the extension of Wat Sam Wihan (วัดสามวิหาร), to the north of Ayutthaya.
It is situated near a residence, but nature has taken over the area. It is accessable by 2 small roads that are somewhat hidden by the trees.
The temple consists of a tower that supported a bell and an Ubosot. The tower is well-preserved and has trees that have taken root in 2 of the walls.
The Ubosot's structure has been supported to keep it feom collapsing, while the main Buddha has been replaced with a larfe modern image.
The temple is modest, but its charm lies in its relative isolation. Despite being close to the major temples of the ancient Siamese capital, one feels alone at Wat Kuti Sung. You can explore this small ruin without any if the crowds you will find at the larger, more famous temples.
This is one of the many forgotten temples in Ayutthaya but still a nice place to see to ...
Sing Buri Province, along the fertile banks of the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand, traces its origins to the ancient Mon-Khmer settlements that flourished during the Dvaravati period, later flourishing under the Ayutthaya Kingdom as a strategic riverine outpost.
The name “Sing Buri” itself derives from local folklore: a mythical lion (singha) spirit is said to have guarded the area, mating with a human woman and fathering a child named Singhapahu, whose lineage symbolically founded the city. This blend of myth and history infuses the region with pride.
Wat Phra Non Chakkrasi Worawihan, a third-class royal temple perched along the ancient Chakra Sri River (now Khlong Bang Ton Pho) in central Sing Buri, embodies the province’s deep pre-Ayutthaya roots, predating the kingdom’s founding in 1351 CE and tying into legends of the lost city of Singh Puri, established around 1107 during the Dvaravati era (7th–11th centuries).
Originally known simply as Wat Phra Non, it was renamed to ...

Wat Makham Phlong วัดมะขามโพลง is a mid-19th-century riverside monastery on the Pa Sak River in Tha Ruea District, Ayutthaya Province, founded in 1882 (BE 2425) to serve local farming and trading communities.
It received royal consecration of its sima boundaries in 1957 (BE 2500), marking its formal elevation as a parish temple under the Mahanikaya sect.
Local lore credits its enduring vitality to protective Unalom inscriptions, believed to channel the Buddha’s ushnisha curl for path-clearing and prosperity—drawing devotees for prayers on career, fortune, and karmic release.
Excavations in the 1970s by the Fine Arts Department authenticated its Ayutthaya-style elements, though the site blends ancient motifs with 20th-century additions, symbolizing continuity from Siamese resilience to modern Thai Buddhism.
The name “Temple of the Long-Pod Tamarind” derives from the ancient makham phlong trees shading the grounds, their elongated pods evoking life’s jointed paths in ...
