Wat Trai Trueng วัดไตรตรึงษ์ - Ayutthaya Historical Park - Thailand 2024

Wat Trai Trueng วัดไตรตรึงษ์ is a small restored ruin on Ayutthaya's city island in the middle of the
Historical Park. The ruin is near Wat Phra Ram. Wat Phra Ram bus built by the second Ayutthaya king for the ashes of his father, the founder of the kingdom, King U-Thong, officially called Ramathibodhi I.

On site is a sermon hall (vihara) with a chedi on its western side. There are also a number of foundations of chedi rai (satellite chedi) remaining nit they are all in poor condition.

Its historical background and period of construction are unknown as well as who and why it was built.

The ruin of Wat Trai Trueng we see today, must have been completely reconstructed because records from the tourism development department have no records of it from earlier maps.

The temple might be named after the City of Trai Trueng. This is a settlement in the area of
Kamphaeng Phet on the Ping River that was established by a group of Thai from the area of Chieng Saen, who were expelled by the Burmese in the latter part of the twelfth century. The city became likely a vassal to Sukhothai in the middle of the thirteenth century. The city was said to have once been the home of the mother of King U-Thong. The princess was expelled from the city by her father, the King of Trai Trueng, after having married a commoner. They both left the city and
established Thep Nakhon in 1319. In 1344, their son U-Thong became king and moved
the capital to Ayudhya in 1351.

The temple ruin is small and in very poor condition. It’s only worth a short visit for anyone interested in old ruins or are passing by while visiting the larger and better preserved ruins.
