Wat Thawai Net is a defunct monastery located off the city island in the southern area of Ayutthaya in the Samphao Lom Sub-district (1).
The temple's name refers to one of the postures of the Buddha, Pang Thawai Net. The Buddha image is standing with hands held down in front of the body in reflective thought. The right covers the left hand. This attitude represents the period after the Buddha had reached Enlightenment. He achieved enlightenment as he sat under a Bhodi tree for seven days in deep meditation, and he then stood for a longer period in deep meditation. This Buddha posture is associated with Sunday.
The monastery is not mentioned on Phraya Boran Ratchathanin's map drafted in 1926 CE or any Fine Arts Department maps.
