Wat Khwit, or the Monastery of the Elephant Apple (1), was located off the city island in the northern area of Ayutthaya, in the Khlong Sra Bua Sub-district. The monastery was situated between Khlong Sra Bua (2) and Khlong Pha Lai (3) in an area called Thung Kaeo (4).
Wat Pa Taeng (ruin) stood in the south, while Wat Saliang (ruin) was in the northeast, opposite Khlong Pha Lai. Phraya Boran Rachathanin's 1926 CE map shows Wat Raeng on the north side of Wat Khwit, but this seems strange as later maps show Wat Raeng north of Wat Laiso. Wat Laiso is two hundred meter north of Wat Khwit. The indication of Wat Jao Ya at the same level as Wat Khwit proved incorrect.
Wat Khwit was surrounded by a ditch (filled by Khlong Pha Lai), which separated it from Wat Pa Taeng.
In situ, we still find traces of this monastery. Brickwork and scattered bricks recall its past.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown.
The site is indicated on Phraya Boran Rachathanin's map drafted in 1926 CE as on the Fine Arts Department maps drawn in 1974 and 1993 CE.
The ruin is in geographical coordinates: 14° 21' 54.53" N, 100° 33' 40.63" E.
There is a ruin with a similar name in the Wat Tum Sub-district.
