Wat Phutthaisawan, located in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand, is a significant historical temple dating back to the early Ayutthaya period. It was established during the reign of King Ramathibodi I (King U-Thong) in 1353. The temple is known for its impressive prang (Khmer-style tower), which stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of that era. The central prang is surrounded by smaller chedis and a viharn (assembly hall) that houses a large reclining Buddha statue. Wat Phutthaisawan is also notable for its serene atmosphere and the intricate murals that adorn its walls, depicting scenes from Buddhist mythology.
