Wat Khok Phraya, Temple ruins in Lumphli, Thailand.

The temple complex contains a walled vihara with a bell-shaped chedi on an octagonal base, plus several minor chedis and a brick platform.

Dutch merchant Jeremias Van Vliet documented the temple as an old ruin in 1629, indicating multiple restorations throughout its existence.

The temple grounds served as an execution site for royal members during the Ayutthaya period, with five different dynasties carrying out sentences there.

Located north of Ayutthaya city island, the temple ruins remain accessible for visitors interested in examining architectural elements from the early Ayutthaya period.

The execution method at this location involved placing condemned royals in velvet sacks before striking them with sandalwood clubs.
