Wat Phraya Maen, Buddhist temple and historic site in Lumphli, Thailand
The northernmost major temple of Ayutthaya stands in Thung Kwan field, featuring high walls, intact foundation, and restored tiles in the ubosot structure.
King Phetracha designated Wat Phraya Maen as a Royal temple in 1694 to commemorate victories against rebellions in Nakhon Sri Thammarat and Nakhon Ratchasima.
Three hundred monks gathered at the temple's consecration ceremony, performing chants while King Phetracha presided from a throne amid military boat processions.
The temple location is visible from highway 309 and the summit of Chedi Phukhao Thong, situated approximately 3.1 kilometers north of Ayutthaya's center.
Excavations at the site revealed numerous artifacts including Buddha images, metal smelting cauldrons, and Chinese pottery from various historical periods.
