Wat Phraya Tikaram

Wat Phraya Tikaram is located off the city island in the eastern part of Ayutthaya, in the Phai Ling Sub-district. The monastery is on the south bank of Khlong Kramang. The canal’s name changes to Khlong Ban Bat as it continues west of Wat Phraya Tikaram to the confluence with Khlong Dusit and ultimately joins the new Pa Sak River beside the city island. To the east, at the junction with Khlong Hantra, runs Khlong Khao Mao, a tributary from the Pa Sak River originating in Tha Ruea.

Wat Thung Yi (defunct) stands in the west, while Wat Krasang (active temple) is in the east.

Wat Phraya Tikaram is an active monastery formerly known as Wat Phra Yat, Wat Phop Yat. The sanctuary is shown on a 1916 CE map as Wat Phra Phop.
