WAT KUTI HAK (วัดกุฏีหัก) |
Wat Kuti Hak or the Monastery of the broken Hermitage of the Monk was located off the city island in the eastern area of Ayutthaya in Phai Ling sub-district. The monastery was situated east of Wat Sam Plum and west of Wat Si Liam. The three monasteries stood nearly in line. There are no traces anymore visible of the monastery above ground level. Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown. The site is only indicated on a 1974 Fine Arts Department map. Based on the latter the monastery should have been approximately located in Geo Coord: 14° 21' 13.46" N, 100° 35' 33.39" E. |
