Wat Pa Kho, or the Monastery of the Cattle Quarter, is an active temple in use by the Buddhist clergy. The temple is located off Ayutthaya's city island in the northeastern area, in the Hantra Sub-district at Ban Ko, formerly known as Ban Sala Khwian. Wat Pa Kho is situated at the mouth of Khlong Hantra and its junction with the Pa Sak River.
The name of this temple hints at local economic activity. In the Ayutthaya era, the area was a place where cattle, mainly oxen and buffalos, were traded. De La Loubère wrote that in Siam, oxen and buffalos were employed in husbandry and used for tillage, while the cows were slaughtered, but the meat was very bad to eat. Milk was taken from the female buffalos, "which has more Cream, than the Milk of our Cows, but they make not any sort of Cheese, and scarce any Butter".
