Description

Thewa Sathan is the site of a former Brahmin temple. It is an unexcavated mound with a large, cloth-wrapped, Bodhi tree growing out of its former altar. There was once a headless and armless image on site, but this has since been removed. There were several Brahmin shrines situated near this police property. During the Ayutthaya period, Brahmin priests played an important role in religious ceremonies, legal decisions, and the setting of punishments for crime. In 1636, King Prasat Thong relocated the Brahmin priests to the area around Thewa Sathan. The king gave them 100 cows and 100 horses as alms, which they returned to the monarch because they lacked the slaves to take care of them.
