| Wat Khok Khemi was located on the city island in the southern part of Ayutthaya in Pratu Chai sub-district, east of the Somdet Phra Sri Nakharin Park. The monastery was situated between Khlong Chakrai Yai, an extension of Khlong Tho and Khlong Chakrai Noi. It stood in the immediate vicinity of Wat Khok Khema and east of Wat Hip. Wat Prasat stood on its east, while Wat Khok Yai Mi was situated in the south, most closest to the present Chao Phraya River. The temple stood once, what are now the premises of the Ayutthaya Hospital. 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 indicated on Phraya Boran Rachathanin's (PBR) map drafted in 1926. The temple is situated north of what PBR mentions as Thanon Rong Krai (street). On his map Wat Khok Khemi and Wat Khok Khema are situated in a cluster on a mound, as part of their names indicates (Th: Khok = mound). The author presumes that on a mid-19th century map this site and Wat Khok Khema are indicated as Wat Noi (วัดน้อย). Some remains of the temple were excavated by the Fine Arts Department (FAD) in Geo Coord: 14° 20' 35.80" N, 100° 33' 34.99" E. (based on 2007 map). |
