Description

Wat Khamin is a temple ruin located on the city island of Ayutthaya in Hua Ro Sub-district. It is situated inside the boundaries of the former provincial prison adjacent to the Chan Kasem Palace and near the Hua Ro and the Na Wang Chan Kasem markets. The monastery is named after the Curcuma plant.

Wat Khamin must have been the local temple of Ban Khamin before 1580 CE. Ban Khamin was a hamlet on the northeastern tip of Ayutthaya's city island at a time when Ayutthaya's eastern city wall ran alongside Khlong Nai Kai (Khlong Makham Riang), and the connection canal (in front of the later Maha Chai Fortress) between the old Lopburi River and the eastern front moat (Khu Khue Na) was not yet dug. Ban Khamin could have been where Curcuma plants were prepared to be sold as spices or medicine.
