Description: |
|
Wat Gudhi Dao is eastward outside Koh Muang in the area of tum
bon Pai Ling, am phoe Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Phra Nakhon Si
Ayutthaya Province, not so far from Wat Maheyong. This temple
was a huge temple in late Ayutthaya Period. Viharn and ubosot
here are in quite a good shape so that tourists can imagine
their greatness in the past easily.
This temple is
something like twins temple of Wat Maheyong because both of them
were renovated. Wat Gudhi Dao was restored in the reign of
Phrajao Tai Sra which was in the late Ayutthaya Period therefore
its condition is better than other temples in that area.
The temple is rectangular facing the sun in the east. Big
building in good condition near the front gate is a round Viharn
presumed to be very popular in the late Ayutthaya Period. The
main stupa is next to Viharn. There is only the Lanka style base
left. The squared-based of stupa here is different from others:
there were 2-notched singha's legs folds on it.
The
building next to the stupa is presumed to be ubosot but Bai
Sema, the boudary marker of theBuddha area was never found. Its
walls are all in ruins revealing its pillar towering orderly.
The next building is a 2-storeyed residence called "Tumnuak
Kummasian" assumed to be the viceroy's when he came to look
after the renovation of this temple and became a sermon hall
after the renovation was done.
Wat Gudhi Dao is the beast
place for those who love visiting ancient places to enjoy
vintage architecture sight-seeing as it is peaceful and
buildings are still in quite a good condition that you can see
their gorgeous details clearly.
For travel guide, drive
along Asia Road and Rojana Road to Koh Muang, when arrive at
stupa of Wat Sam Pleum, turn right and circulate the roundabout
then drive along the road. Wat Gudhi Dao is at the left side and
you could see train track pass front of the temple. |
