Wat Khok Phra Non, or the Monastery of the Mound of the Reclining Buddha, is situated off the city island in the eastern area of Ayutthaya in the Phai Ling Sub-district. It is located about 200 metres from the exit of the Ayutthaya Provincial Sports Complex.
Wat Si Liam (restored ruin) stood north, Wat Pho Phueak (restored ruin) east, Wat Maklam (restored ruin) south and Wat Rerai (defunct) west.
In situ is a very high and large brick mound covered in vegetation with some remaining broken brickwork.
The site has been partly renovated by the Fine Arts Department on the eastern side after the extensive flooding of October-November 2011 CE. Local people stated that the premises belong to Wat Yai Chai Mongkol as well as the other sites in the vicinity. It is believed that under the remaining brick mound, there is still a reclining Buddha image buried (hence the name of the temple).
The site was dismantled to recuperate the bricks for construction purposes at Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon. Also, here, locals told us that all the temple sites near Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon were stripped of bricks and sold to contractors from Bangkok. (1)
There were several laterite blocks on top of the mound. After enquiry, it was said that the stones were dug out very deep (likely the foundations) and as no use for the contractors (apparently only bricks were requested), the stones were thrown back onto the brick mound.
