The monastery features on 1993 and 2007 Fine Arts Department map. Wat Sam Pratu stood west of Wat Tum and southwest of Wat Hong. The temple was situated within a loop of the old Lopburi River of which the southern part is at present called Khlong Wat Tum and stood on its east bank adjacent of Wat Long Thong. At a certain moment the loop had been cut straight near Wat Tha Yak and the northern tax station towards Wat Klang Raman. The shortcut canal or khlong lat, was called Khlong Bang Khuat referring to the village Ban Bang Khuat in which vicinity the canal was dug. In situ are the remains of some walls of a monastic structure, ubosot or vihara. As it lies behind private property, it is difficult to access. In the same area is also a mound with a small wooden deteriorated ghost house. Some remains of the temple were excavated by the Fine Arts Department (FAD) in geographical coordinates: 14° 23' 43.97" N, 100° 31' 49.34" E (based on 2007 map). Its historical background and period of construction are unknown. |
