Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon is a prominent Buddhist temple located in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand. It is renowned for its impressive chedi (stupa), which was constructed in 1357 during the reign of King U-Thong. The temple was originally built to house monks who had returned from studying in Sri Lanka, and its name translates to "the Monastery of Auspicious Victory." The large central chedi, surrounded by smaller ones, dominates the site and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. The temple complex also features an iconic Reclining Buddha statue, a meditation garden, and various other smaller structures adorned with intricate carvings and statues.
