| Wat Chi Thammo or the Monastery of the Dharma Nun - also called Wat Sri Thammo (วัดศรีธรรโม), in this case translated as the Monastery of the Splendid Dharma - was located off the city island in the southern area of Ayutthaya in Samphao Lom sub-district. (1) It was situated on the south bank of the Chao Phraya River, west of Wat Khun Phrom. In situ, close to the waterfront, the foundation of a small monastic building still can be seen. Its historical background and period of construction are unknown. The site is indicated on a mid-19th century map (วัดชีทำโม) and on Phraya Boran Rachathanin's map drafted in 1926 (วัดชิธรรโม) . Some remains of the temple were excavated by the Fine Arts Department (FAD) in Geo Coord: +14° 20' 36.41" N, +100° 34' 1.26" E. Footnotes: (1) Literally the sub-district of the capsized junk. The area was known before as Ban Samphao Lom. |
