Description

Wat Mae Nang Pluem is situated off the city island in the northern area of Ayutthaya in the Hua Ro Sub-district. The monastery is located near the confluence of Khlong Hua Ro, Khlong Mueang, and the junction canal of the old eastern city moat, all being the river bed of the old Lopburi River in the Ayutthaya era. Wat Phrao and Wat Mongkut were situated on its north side, while Wat Tha Khlong was on its west. The temple is still in use by the Buddhist clergy. Following the tamnan history, this monastery has existed since 1377 CE.

The name of this temple is mentioned in the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya. It is related to a herd of elephants that showed up close to the monastery and were rounded up near Wat Song around the end of 1548 CE, beginning of 1549 CE.
