If anyone has the opportunity to visit Ayutthaya and misses "Wat Yai Chai Mongkol", I must say that it is a great pity because this place is both beautiful and has a deep historical meaning.

What is the origin of this temple?
This temple was built since the reign of King U Thong (founder of Ayutthaya). But what made this temple really famous was during the reign of King Naresuan the Great. He won the battle with Burma in the elephant battle and ordered the construction of "Chedi Chai Mongkol" to commemorate the important victory of Thailand. It is a large and prominent chedi that can be seen from far away.
