Wat Suwannawat วัดสุวรรณาวาส - Ayutthaya Historical Park - Thailand 2022
Wat Suwannawat Temple (วัดสุวรรณาวาส)
Wat Suwannawat is located on the city island. This renovated temple ruin can be seen directly opposite Wat Racha Praditsathan temple on the north part if the island.
There is no record of this temple’s construction date or its role in history. It was built where some Royal elephant stables once stood. This monastery may have been used by the mahouts that worked with elephants in the stables.
Wat Suwannawat was restored by King Mongkut (King Rama IV) during the Ratanakosin period. Excavations at this site uncovered a Chinese-style image of Buddha preaching. It dates to the Ming Dynasty (16th-17th). The Chao Sam Phraya Museum presently has this marble image on display.
Wat Suwannawat was aligned to an east/west axis facing toward Khlong Pratu Khao Pluak (now buried). In situ is a small sermon hall with its front entrance wall still intact. Its basic foundation has been reconstructed by the Fine Arts Department, but the remaining three walls are missing. The altar of the sermon hall has a large, armless, Buddha image with most of his face still visible. Behind this ubosot is a large bell-shaped chedi with an octagonal base.
Several smaller bell-shaped chedi in various states of erosion are also in situ. In addition, there is a two-tiered bell tower with arched windows in each of the cardinal directions. The style of this architecture at Wat Suwannawat suggests the Middle and Late Ayutthaya Period.
