Wat Lokaya Suttha
Its architecture and plan suggest that it was probably built in the early Ayutthaya period. The main restoration work carried out in King Narai's reign. Besides edifices, there is still an important figure located here; a Reclining Buddha Image made of brick and covered with mortar. After excavations, it ws presumed that the original image was without decoration. During restoration work in 1956, mortar was made for the whole image and the statue's head was decorated.
The historic city of Ayutthaya is on the World Heritage list of Unesco.
