| WAT JINGJOK 1 (วัดจิ้งจอก) |
| Wat Jingjok or the Monastery of the House Lizard was located on Ayutthaya's city island outside the Historical Park in Pratu Chai Sub-district. It was situated on the actual premises of the Chao Sam Phraya Museum, North of Rojana Rd, in an area called before Thung Khaek. There are no traces anymore visible of the monastery above ground level. Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown. A mid-19th century map shows Wat Jingjok south of Wat Dawadung and east of Wat San Jao Thong, north of the former brick road being an extension of Chinese Street. This location does not match with Phraya Boran Rachathanin's (PBR) map drafted in 1926, which indicates this temple southeast of Wat Pa Nai near the confluence of Khlong Chakrai Noi and the connection canal leading to Khlong Pratu Thep Mi. As thus PBR situates Wat Jingjok more north. The denomination on both maps is also different. The mid-19th century maps shows วัดจิงจก, while PBR writes วัดจิ้กจอก leaving the interpretation open between respectively the "Monastery of the House Lizard" and the "Monastery of the Fox". This author opts for the first translation. The site is located in geographical coordinates: 14° 21' 3.92" N, 100° 33' 42.65" E, at present the museum building itself. |
