Wat Phra Non or the "Monastery of the Reclining Buddha" was located off the city
island in the eastern area in Khlong Suan Phlu sub-district.
Wat Chumphon stood on its western side, while Wat Kradok was situated on its eastern
side. The three monasteries could be accessed by the canals Khlong Suan Phlu, Khlong
Dusit and Khlong Phra Non. Khlong Pra Non passed south of the three monasteries.
A temple bearing the same name was located south of the City of Ayutthaya at Samphao
Lom sub-district.
The site - completely overgrown with vegetation - is not yet visited as the area is
inaccessible due to flooding, but presumably only a brick mound remains of the former
monastery.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction is unknown.
The site is indicated on a 1973 and 1994 Fine Arts Department map. Some remains of
the temple were excavated by the Fine Arts Department (FAD) in Geo Coord: +14° 20'
26.40" N, +100° 35' 19.92" E.
