Wat Phu Khao Thong, Buddhist temple in Phukhao Thong, Thailand.
The temple structure features a prominent 80-meter tall chedi with a gold sphere at its pinnacle, dominating the surrounding landscape of Ayutthaya.
The temple originated in 1387 and underwent reconstruction during King Boromakot's reign, when a Thai-style chedi replaced the original Mon-style structure.
The temple maintains its role as a center for Buddhist ceremonies, where local residents gather to perform traditional religious rituals throughout the year.
The temple remains open daily with a 20 Baht entrance fee for adults, and visitors can reach it through tuk-tuk transportation from Ayutthaya city.
The temple houses a Buddha footprint that was transported from Saraburi, adding to its religious and historical importance in the region.
