Description

Wat Luang Chi Krut is the ruins of a Buddhist monastery that is presently graced with a pleasant backdrop of coconut trees. In situ, we find a large ordination hall (ubosot) and other monastic structures built on a classical east-west axis. To the west side of the ordination hall is a vihara constructed following a north-south axis. Excavations by the Fine Arts Department found evidence of three chedis in a north-south alignment, the same as at Wat Sri Sanphet. The whole monastic area was surrounded by an outer wall called ‘Kamphaeng Kaeo’ (crystal wall). This monastery has been restored many times. Before ascending the throne, King Chakkraphat (reign 1548-1569 CE) had his residence in this area. High-ranking officials of royal blood likely used this temple for Buddhist veneration.
