Wat Ratchaburana

Wat Ratchaburana is located in Tha Wasukri Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, at the foot of Pa Than Bridge, next to Wat Mahathat on the east side, a short distance from the ancient palace. It is one of the largest and oldest temples in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. It was built by King Borommarachathirat II or Chao Sam Phraya in 1967. Wat Ratchaburana is famous for being robbed by a group of thieves who dug up the crypt inside the main prang in 1956 and stole a huge amount of treasures and escaped. Later, the Fine Arts Department came to restore and excavate later, finding the remaining treasures and a large amount of gold. Currently, the treasures in the crypt are kept in the Ratchaburana Room in the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum. #WorshipAyutthaya #BeautifulTemplesAroundThailand #ThaiTemples #VisitHistoricalSites #Worshipandaskforblessings
