Wat Khae & Wat Mondrop - Historic Temples in Ayutthaya Thailand 2023
Just north and east of the main city island of Ayutthaya is a small island named Ko Loi. It once had 7 active temples on the island before the fall of the city to the Burmese. Two of the temples have been restored and are active, Wat Mondrop and Wat Khae.
Wat Mondop is named in the royal chronicles of Ayutthaya. When it is unknown when it was founded or by who.
At the time of the second fall of Ayutthaya in the year 1767, the Burmese army used this Mondop temple as their base. After being abandoned, Wat Mondop was restored and is now an active temple. It features a very old Buddha that sits inside a small mondrop that was constructed to keep it safe since the original building is completely gone.
About 300 meters past Wat Mondrop is the second active temple on the island, Wat Khae. It is also unknown when it was constructed. All of the buildings have been restored in the Bangkok styling. The temple is famous for an import monk, Luang Pu Thuat, that stayed at this temple. He was believed to have supernatural abilities and the story of his life is depicted in the mural paintings inside the ordination hall
The island is only accessible by row boat from the market on the west side of the island. Cost is 5 Baht each way per person. The temples are very quite and worth a visit if you are interested in seeing more of the area but not worth a trip if you are short of time since there are much better ones to see in the area.
