Wat Chai Watthanaram was one of the grandest and most monumental ruins of
Ayutthaya. [6] The construction of the monastery may have taken 20 years to complete
as a gold tablet buried behind a Buddha image in one of the spired roof halls was
inscribed: “Auspicious occasion in Maha Sakarat 572 (1649 AD), Wednesday of the
4th month, 15th day of the waxing moon, year of the dog with number two ending,
firstly established.” [7] In the Historical Account written by Van Vliet, in the passage
referring to 1637-8, he mentions “the King’s temple . . . under construction” [8],
indicating that at that time the construction work was still ongoing.
