★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wat Phrayaman is an abandoned temple, outside of the city island in the east, Tambon Lum Phli, Amphoe Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Chang Wat aphra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. Registered as an ancient remains on July 20, A.D. 1943 ( B.E. 2486 ) without marking boundary and completely amendatory on October 21, A.D. 1980 ( B.E. 2523 ). No strong evidence of when this temple built and by whom, referring to the archaeological evidence Somdej Phra Phetracha used to be ordained at this temple and his master forecasted that he will be a king, he issued an order to renovate and completely finished in A.D. 1690 ( B.E. 2233 ) and promoted as Reverend Abbot Phra Sri Satjayanmunee after the forecast fulfilled. With such an evidences dating back to the time of this temple established in the Middle to Late Ayutthaya period ( the 22-23th B.E.
century ), it was abandoned after Ayutthaya fell to Burmese in A.D. 1767 ( B.E. 2310 ). Situated in the huge area that pave the way for any religious activities, it means this temple must have been the important temple
at that time, built on the high land with 3 steps to reach Ubosot so as to get avoid of flooding problems which was often happened ( Ayutthaya was surrounded by 3 rivers, Pa Sak River in the east, Chao Phraya on the west and south and Lopburi River in the north, King U-Thong issued an order to dig these three rivers connected with the purpose of preventing city from invaders). Surrounded with walls,holes of lotus leaves features pierced around the wall for placing candles ( no electric in the ancient time any religious activities executed inside Ubosot was the light needed ). Late Ayutthaya period architecture shown on the twin Prangs in the east, belfry, base and chedi. This temple must have been important as mentioned above, apart from its big area, the light from numerous candles, flood protection ( 3 steps stairs),the water ( wells )system also built. Even though this is abandoned temple, I recommend visitors to visit since it is on very huge area in the middle of the field and selected to be the performance site for special location, no admission fee ( no need to charge because visitors can reach 360 degrees around the area ).
