Wat Lokayasuttharam, Ayutthaya (30 December, 2002)


Wat Lokayasuttharam (GPS: 14.35554, 100.55237; วัดโลกยสุธาราม ) is an ancient Thai Buddhist temple ruin in the city of Ayutthaya, Thailand. The temple is located behind the Royal Palace and the Pratoochai Primary School. It is believed that this temple was built around 1412 by King Intharacha.

The main feature of Wat Lokayasuttharam is its huge reclining Buddha image, the Phra Bhuddhasaiyart. The length is variously reported as between 28 meters and 37 meters, with a height of about 8 meters. Even today, devotees continue to bring flowers and other offerings to the statue.

Apart from the Phra Bhuddhasaiyart, the other feature of Wat Lokayasuttharam is its prang, which today is in a state of ruin. This prang is 30 meters tall, and was built in the Late Ayutthaya period

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
