Wat Sra Si Liam or the Monastery of the Square Pond was located off the city island
in the southern area of Ayutthaya in Samphao Lom Sub-district.

The monastery stood west of
Khlong Khu Cham and south of the Chao Phraya River
below
Wat Phutthai Sawan and Wat Tha Rap; west of Wat Noina.

The site is only mentioned on a Fine Arts Department (FAD) map drafted in 1974. A
visit made to the area with a request to locals to indicate the site, resulted in finding brick
work and pottery shards in geographical coordinates: 14°20' 9.42" N, 100° 33' 39.04"
E.

In situ is a brick mound covered with vegetation. In close vicinity of the mound stands a
Ficus Religiosa (Bodhi tree) with brickwork nestled in its roots. The site is quite large.

Its historical background and period of construction are unknown.

A 2007 FAD GIS map positions the site in geographical coordinates: 14°20' 16.94" N,
100° 33' 38.59" E. The two locations are about 250 meters from each other. This issue
needs further research.
