Wat Chaiwatthanaram

Wat Chaiwatthanaram ( _th. วัดไชยวัฒนาราม) is a Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya, Thailand. The temple is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, outside Ayutthaya island. It is one of Ayutthaya's most beautiful temples and a major tourist attraction.

Construction of the temple began in 1630 at the request of King Prasat Thong for the memorial of his mother's resident in that area. The temple's name literally means "the Temple of long reign and glorious era". It was designed in Khmer style which was popular in that time.
