The Buddha image’s head made of archaic
A big Buddha image’s head made of archaic (1.40 meters wide and 1.80 meters high)
was moved from the temple and displayed on the floor of Chao Sam Phraya National
Museum. He was indicated to be in U-thong or early Ayutthaya artistic style due to
his rather squared face like that of Khmer architecture. Including the legend saying about
Phraya Thammikarat. King Sainampheung’s son and the builder of the temple.
Later this temple was named “Thammikarat” in the name of the King who built the temple.
From the two reasons menticned, this temple should have been built before the reign
of King U-thong, the founder of Krung si Ayutthaya.
