Wat Wihan Thong, Buddhist temple ruins in Nai Mueang, Thailand

The temple ruins contain remnants of a prayer hall, a large Buddha statue, and the base of a stupa with tall stone columns.

Located within Chan Palace grounds, the temple dates from the 15th century when it served as a royal sanctuary during the Ayutthaya period.

The archaeological site includes fragments of wooden door panels from the Ayutthaya period, now preserved in the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum.

The archaeological site remains accessible throughout the day without entrance fees, situated on the opposite bank of the Nan River from Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat.

Excavations in 1992 revealed the temple foundations and numerous artifacts during a planned school expansion, leading to the site's preservation.
