| WAT KHOK 1 (วัดโคก) |
Wat Khok or the "Monastery of the Mound" was located on the city island ouside the
Historical Park at Pratu Chai sub-district, just opposite Hua Laem or the "Spear Head".
The temple was situated north of a former canal called Khlong Fang, and close to its
mouth and water gate connecting, with the present Chao Phraya River. Wat Sing stood
south of the temple, while Wat Tuk stood on its north-east. Wat Khok stood behind the
Sat Kop Fortress.
There are no traces anymore of the former monastery.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown.
The site is indicated on a mid-19th century map in an identical position as on Phraya
Boran Rachathanin's map drafted in 1926.
