| WAT SAPHAN RUEAK (วัดสะพานเรือก) |

Wat Saphan Rueak was a monastery situated off the city island in the eastern area of
Ayutthaya in Phai Ling sub-district. The temple was located on the east bank of Khlong
Dusit on the same north-south axis as Wat Dusit, Wat Khanun and Wat Khanan. Wat
Saphan Rueak was situated between Wat Dusit and Wat Khanun.
The monastery's historical background and period of construction are unknown.
The site is not indicated on a mid-19th century map, neither on Phraya Boran
Rachathanin's map drafted in 1926 and features only on a FAD 1974 map [1].
The former location of Wat Saphan Rueak is situated in a build-up area and there are
likely no traces visible of the monastery anymore above ground level. The site has not
been excavated as yet.
