Wat Phra Ram
This is one Ayudhaya's oldest temples, built in 1369 by King Ramesuan, situated on the outside of the eastern town wall. It was built on the site where the first monarch of Ayudhaya, King Uthong, was cremated. The prang has been partially restored, but one can still find some original stucco garudas and nagas. The tall archway at the entrance to the compound was designed for elephants to pass through.
