WAT CHO (วัดเฉาะ)
Wat Cho was situated on Ayutthaya's city island in the southwestern area in Pratu Chai
sub-district. The monastery stood on the south bank of Khlong Klaeb (also called as
Khlong Pratu Tha Phra).

In its immediate vicinity, on its west side, stood
Wat Phra Ngam (restored foundations).
On the opposite side of the canal were
Wat Satdichon (ruin), Wat Chang (vanished) and
Wat Pa Sathon (vanished).

There are no traces of foundations or brick work at ground level and the temple is
classified as disappeared.

The site is mentioned on a
mid-19th century map in the same position as on Phraya
Boran Rachathanin's map drafted in 1926. Wat Cho was located between Wat Phra
Ngam and
Wat Lanthom Yai (vanished) on the oldest map.

Historical data about the monastery and its construction is unknown.
