Description

Wat Ket is a restored temple ruin situated on Ayutthaya’s city island in the Pratu Chai Sub-district. The site is located within the Ayutthaya Historical Park. The ruin is south of Wat Phra Ram and opposite Ayutthaya’s City Pillar shrine and the Phra Kan shrine, as well as close to the Chao Sam Phraya Museum.

Wat Ket stands at the junction of Pa Thon and Si Sanphet roads, respectively Talaeng Kaeng Road and Maha Rathaya Road (1) in earlier times. Talaeng Kaeng refers to the intersection of the roads mentioned above close to the city's centre, and the location was also an execution ground (gallows). Close to Wat Ket stood the drum tower and the jailhouse to its north.
