Wat Chao Ya (วัดเจ้าย่า)

Wat Chao Ya or Grandmother's Monastery is located off the city island in the northern
area of Ayutthaya in the Khlong Sra Bua sub-district.

The monastery ground was split into two parts by a modern road. Archaeological evidence indicates that Wat Chao Ya dates from the Early Ayutthaya period (1351 - 1491). The Khmer style was the prominent style during this time and was used within the temple compound. There are also structures in situ from the Middle (1491 - 1629) to the Late Ayutthaya periods (1629 - 1767).

In the Ayutthaya era the temple would’ve been accessed by a canal that runs along the west side. Now the temple is in ruin but during the Kingdom of Ayutthaya this would’ve been a thriving temple, as indicated by the size of the temple grounds.
