Wat Mai Khlong Sa Bua วัดใหม่ - Restored Temple Ruin - Ayutthaya Historical Park - Thailand 2024
Wat Mai Khlong Sra Bua วัดใหม่
Wat Mai or the New Monastery is a restored ruin located off the city island, to the north of the old Looburi River. It is opposite of Wat Na Phra Men (active temple) and the Grand Palace (restored ruin).
The temple complex faces south towards the Lopburi River as most of the temples along
this city canal. It is customary in South and South-east Asia that the temple structures
are aligned in an east-west axis and that the principal building faces east, the direction of
the rising sun, and representation of life.
In this case another important consideration
played a role which is, that a temple should face water, explained by the fact that the Buddha attained enlightenment sitting under a Bodi tree facing a river. The temple can face south, as the south has a neutral value in the cosmological alignment.
The site contains the remains of an ordination hall or ubosot and a number of satellite chedis. The monastery was surrounded by an outer wall with part if it still remaining.
According to archaeological evidence, the temple dates from the Late Ayutthaya period (1629-1767) and could have been in use in the Early Ratanakosin (Bangkok period).
Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown.
