Wat Khok Phraya - Royal Execution Site - Ayutthaya Thailand

Wat Khok Phraya วัดโคกพระยา or the Monastery of the Mound of the Nobles is a small monastic ruin build in the Early Ayutthaya period (1350 - 1488 AD). It is located north, just outside of the city island.

The location has been the site for many punishments and executions of royals of Ayutthaya. It was here that the young King Thong Lan, son of King Boromaracha I was executed by Ramesuan, the governor of Lopburi, in 1388. The method used in Ayutthaya during that time was to tie the victim in a velvet sack, and dash in their chest with a club of sandal-wood. By this means the royal body was not touched.

There were many others that were executed at this site during the Ayutthaya period of thai history. If you want to read more about it here is a brief history.
