Description

Wihan Phra Thi Nang Yen is situated east of Wat Phra Ram in the Bueng Phra Ram area. The vihara we see here was built around 1956 CE in the period of Phibun Songkran's stay in the prime minister's office. The building was constructed on top of the foundations of an older structure, probably built in the reign of King Narai (1656-1688 CE), the last King of the Prasat Thong Dynasty. Apparently, The initial building was built in brick with two floors and arched entry doors. The function of the old building remains a mystery. Some sources state it was initially the residence of the former abbot of Wat Phra Ram; others said it might have been a pavilion for watching folk games. As many important monasteries in Ayutthaya had a "Tamnak" or royal pavilion, Phra Thi Nang Yen could have had the same function. The exact use of this structure will never be known.
