Wat Kamphaeng is located off the city island, in the northern area of Ayutthaya, in the Khlong Sra Bua Sub-district. The monastery was on the west bank of Klong Sra Bua (1).
Wat Sri Pho stood north, Wat Laiso (ruin) east on the other side of the canal, Wat Takrai (restored ruin) south and Wat Khai Wua northwest.
Wat Kamphaeng is a temple ruin which has suffered much damage from seasonal flooding.
A damaged Buddha image in the posture of subduing Mara sits on a high brick pedestal, which is still well-detailed and covered with stucco patches. The Buddha image is missing one arm and a portion of the face. The pedestal is likely a part of the monastic building underneath. The main chedi must have been situated west of the damaged Buddha image.
Closer to the canal stands a minor bell-shaped 12-redented chedi on a square base, but unfortunately, it is damaged. The funerary chedi is missing its upper part, and holes have been dug into it by looters to take its contents.
The history and establishment of this monastery is unknown.
Wat Kamphaeng is in geographical coordinates: 14° 22' 00.8" N, 100° 33' 29.5" E.
Footnotes:
(1) Khlong Sra Bua, or the Lilly Pond Canal, is a canal situated in the northern area, off the city island, in the Khlong Sra Bua District. The waterway splits from Khlong Hua Ro between Wat Ngiu (defunct) and Wat Si Liam. The canal has its mouth at the City Canal (Khlong Mueang) between Wat Na Phra Men and Wat Mai in front of the northeastern corner of the Grand Palace. The canal was a shortcut in the old Lopburi River.
