Wat Khae -Ayutthaya Thailand - With Drone Footage
Wat Khae วัดแค
The temple was located on the west bank of the old Lopburi River, presently called
Khlong Hua Ro.
There are no indications in the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya when exactly the temple was built. Archaeological research situates the construction of the temple in the Early Ayutthaya period (1350 - 1485).
The temple was abandoned during the war of 1766-1767 and sacked by the Burmese.
Wat Khae or the Monastery of the Trumpet Tree is located off the city island in the northern area at Khlong Sra Bua in a field named Thung Kaeo. The village is called Ban Rang Khae. Wat Lamut and Wat Phisua stood in its immediate vicinity. The closest active temple - Wat Khrutharam is situated to the northwest.
The monastery consists of four principal pagodas, an ordination hall (ubosot), two
vihara, some small pagodas and other buildings surrounded by a wall. All buildings have been restored several times.
The revered monk Luang Pu Thuad resided at Wat Khae for a while. He was the favorite priest of King Ekathotsarot (r. 1605-1620) and was bestowed upon the Sangkha title of "Somdet Phra Rajamuni Samiramagunupamacarya", the highest rank ever given to any other monk before in Siam.
After the city was destroyed by the Burmese the and most other temples were left abandoned to the jungle. The fine arts department has excavated the site and resored it the the condition you see now for people to be able to see a bit of the history of the region.
