 About  : Wat Thammaram

          In the old days, Wat Thammaram served as a campsite for the Burmese each time they came to invade Krung Si Ayutthaya. The spot was a strategic point for Siam during that time because, from there, the troop could took hold of riverways around the city.
          Inside Wat Thammaram is located a round-shaped chedi with a square base, which is the main chedi of the temple. The vihan is situated in the east and the ubosot is located on the west behind the main chedi. The scripture hall and the bell tower can be found on the bank of the river to the east of the monk dwelling area.
          The two-storey monk dwelling now serves as Hor Tri, or the scripture hall. It is a Thai style building with mural paintings on four sides of the wall telling the story of the Lord Buddha: the meeting of gods, lying down and doing meditation with corpses, and the royal portraits of King Rama V.
          The area of the ubosot, the vihan and the chedi is spacious. The vihara has a gable with flower and animal stuccos and the roof that was made from clay tiles. It houses a several images of Buddha made from molded lime. A large Langka-shape chedi, believed by archeologists to be one of the earliest of its kind, is located behind the vihan.
          Being well-tended by the temple’s personnel, Wat Thammaram is clean and tidy in all areas. It is also cool and shady with tree and the pleasant atmosphere thanks to its location by the riverside. The temple is indeed a recommended place for merit making, meditation and the practice of dharma.

About Wat Na Phra Mane

             Wat Na Phra Mane is located on the right bank of Lob Buri River in north of the Ancient Palace. King Ramathibodee 2 commissioned constructing it in 1503. Originally, its name was “Wat Phra Merurachigaram”. King Maha Chakkapat used this temple to make a contract with King Burengnong for ceasing fighting in 1549 in a war called “Songkhram Changphuak (War of fighting on white elephants’ backs). Wat Na Phra Mane’s Ubosot
             The temple was renovated three times, once in the reign of King Boromakot, and the other two in the reign of King Nang Glao in 1835 and 1838. The things we see nowadays are the mixture of the new things and the old things transferred from Ayutthaya period, the reign of King Buddha Lerdla Napalai, the third king of Rattanakosin (Bangkok) period, and King Bhumibol, the present reign. Remarkably, this temple was not destroyed when Ayutthaya was lastly defeated.
             The Ubosot contains 9 rooms with 41 meters long. It was situated on a high base that makes the Ubosot visibly large and high. The temple has been renovated until the reign of King Buddha Lerdla Napalai, and the Ubosot’s gables were carved wood primed with black lacquer and covered with gold leaves. The gables were also decorated with pieces of colored glass, and the wood was carved in figures of the god, Vishnu (in Thailand called Phra Narai or Narayan) mounted on Garuda standing on naga’s head and on top of the demon head, Ra-hoo (A monster supposed to cause eclipses by taking the moon and the sun) surrounded by a group of 26 gods placing their palms against palms. There were three doors as entrances into the Ubosot. The top of the large middle door panel was decorated like roof of a casle, and the door was used only as the entrance of very important people. The door mentioned was later blocked and leaving only a high window.
             Inside the Ubosot, there are 8 pairs of huge octagonal pillars with budding lotus supporting the wooden roof structure. The wooden beams are beautifully carved and the ceiling adorned with wood carving in stars and the moon in the sky. (Reference :www.ayutthayastudies.aru.ac.th )
