Wat Prot Sat - Restored Ancient Temple - Ayutthaya Thailand 2023

Wat Prot Sat also written as Wat Prodsat is an ancient Ayutthaya era temple built south of Ayutthaya in the Bang Pa-in district.

Wat Prod Sat is located at Tambol Kanon Luang, Ampur Bang Pa-in, Phranakorn Si Ayutthaya Province. The ancient remains in the temple consist of the principal square-bell shaped pagoda with twelve rabbeted on the angles facing North West towards the Chao Phraya River, a chapel in front of the principal pagoda was newly restored in 2474 in the Buddhist calendar (1932). Next to the main hall 2 small shrines were built over the old ones.

In front of the chapel, there are 6 twelve rabbeted angled pagodas. From the architectural and artistry form of the ancient remains In Wat Prod Sat, it was assumed that the temple was built in late Ayutthaya period. Later on, it was ministered by Krom Luang Wongsathirachsanit in Rattanakosin period.

The temple was important during the Ayutthaya era in that it was used as a tax collection point of boats coming into the city from the gulf. It is also believed that it was the location where King Naresuan led troops in the Battle of Nantureng. King Naresuan led the navy to attack the Phra Maha Uparaja camp until it was destroyed.

The temple itself is very nice. It was fun to be able to walk around the temple and see how much work is required to restore a historical temple so it can be continued to be used by the locals. I’ve been watching the restoration and I really like how everything has turned out.
