Description

Wat Khae is a restored temple ruin situated within the Ayutthaya Historical Park in the Pratu Chai Sub-district. The ruin sits on the south bank of Khlong Nakhon Ban, a canal connecting to Khlong Tho. Wat Khae stood west of the jailhouse, on which location today stands Kum Khun Phaen, a Thai-style house built based on the descriptions found in the popular Thai epic poem "Khun Chang Khun Phaen."

Only the restored foundations of Wat Khae remain. The monastic structure was a rectangular prayer hall surrounded by probably a low outer wall. West of the hall, it looks like there has been a Buddha image enshrined in a portico instead of the classic chedi. Some foundations of satellite chedi are visible.
