Wat Thammikarat, Buddhist temple ruins in Tha Wasukri, Thailand
The temple complex contains a bell-shaped chedi surrounded by 52 Khmer-style lion statues, along with a large ordination hall and reclining Buddha structures.
The monastery, initially named Wat Mukharat, predates the 1351 founding of Ayutthaya and suffered extensive fire damage during the Burmese invasion of 1767.
Five patriarchs from this temple and other monasteries intervened to prevent civil war when three illegitimate sons attempted to seize power after King Borommakot's death.
The temple ruins occupy a large area east of the Grand Palace, with multiple structures including a 19-meter by 53-meter royal sermon hall featuring preserved columns.
The temple houses a 12-meter reclining Buddha made of bricks and cement, depicting the Attitude of Teaching Asurindarahu position.
