Wat Sala Pun วัดศาลาปูน 2nd Class Royal Temple - Ayutthaya Thailand 2023
Wat Sala Pun วัดศาลาปูน (also spelled Sala Poon) means the Monastery of the Pavilion of Lime. It is an active temple located off the city island in the northwestern area of Ayutthaya.
It is situated on the north bank of Khlong Mueang, the old Lopburi River in earlier times.
Wat Phanom Yong and Wat Phrom Niwat lie in its vicinity.
In situ are the classic monastic buildings. The ordination hall and chedi stands in a northwest southeast alignment. The structures are surrounded by a wall. The ubosot is in the late Ayutthaya style with a three tiered roof and two porches. The elevated front porch has three entries; two small ones and in the middle a large one. The rear porch has two entries. In between the doors stands a chapel with rather west-European features. Behind the hall stands a bell-shaped chedi surrounded by a low inner wall.
Within the wall surrounding the ubosot and chedi stands a restored library building (Ho Trai) in which the Buddhist scriptures were kept with well-preserved stucco in a flower pattern on its pediment.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown.
The temple housed in earlier years a primary school. It was in this school that Pridi
Banomyong (he became the Prime Minister of Thailand) spent his early school period.
Wat Sala Pun is renowned for its beautifully hand-carved wooden Tripitaka cabinet in
which were kept the sacred Buddhist manuscripts, these are large books made of a type of thick mulberry paper depicting elaborate scenes from the Jatakas, storyies of Phra Malai, the life of the Buddha, etc. These cabinets were either black lacquer with mother-of-pearl inlay, or carved and painted with gold.
The temple is a second class royal temple of the Maha Nikaya sect and ranked "worawiharn" (4th grade) following a ranking system for royal temples which was
initiated in 1913.
