Wat Kuti Thong

Wat Kuti Thong is an active temple on the northern bank of Khlong Mueang in the Tha Wasukri Sub-district of Ayutthaya. The monastery is split into two parts by a road that runs. The modern part is near the canal bank and has the sangkhawat area, while the phutthawat area is on the north side of the road, containing the ordination hall and the ruined ancient chedis. Khlong Pha Lai ran about 50 metres west and north of the temple. Wat Kuti Thong was aligned north-south towards the old Lopburi River.

The phutthawat area is enclosed by an outer brick wall with arched entrance gates, one of which is still visible in the front next to the road. The ordination hall and the chedi foundations are elevated on what is presumed to be a former mound. The latter could hide the remains of earlier construction. Some burial memorials are east of the sermon hall, including small chedis that appear to be from the Ayutthaya era.

Behind the ordination hall are two large bell-shaped chedis, of which one is still in good condition. It still has much of its stucco and most of the harmika and spire intact. The second chedi has suffered more significant damage and collapsed from the upper relic chamber.
