Wat Ratchaburana is one of the big and oldest temples in Ayutthaya. The construction of this temple was started during the reign of King Boromrachathirat II (Chao Sam Phraya) in 1424 where Prince Ai Phraya and Prince Yi Phraya fought each other for the throne and died in combat.
The layout of the temple’s structure followed the early Ayutthayan style just like Wat Mahathat. Wat Ratchaburana consists of the monastic structure with a wihan and ubosot, where the wihan was placed in the front and the ubosot was placed in the far back of the compound in the same level.
