| Wat Jae or the Small Monastery was situated off the city island in the southern area of Ayutthaya in Khlong Takhian sub-district along Khlong Wat Jaeng. The temple was situated south of Wat Phraya Phan and west of Wat Pho Chai. In situ is a brick mound covered in vegetation. Its historical background and period of construction are unknown. The monastery is mentioned on a Fine Arts Department map drafted in 1993 and located in Geo Coord: 14° 19' 43.29" N, 100° 34' 9.94" E. I presume the denomination on the FAD map is not correct and the monastery was called Wat Jaeng, identical to the denomination of the canal in its vicinity. |
