Wat Chula Muni - Ayutthaya Era Temple with an 800 Year Old Gold Buddha - Ang Thong Thailand 2024
During the Ayutthaya era, Buddhist temples played a crucial role in Thai society, serving as centers of spiritual and cultural activities. Many temples were built, restored, or renovated during this period, showcasing the kingdom’s architectural and artistic achievements.
These temples not only showcased the kingdom’s architectural and artistic prowess but also served as centers of Buddhist learning, meditation, and worship. They played a vital role in preserving and promoting Thai Buddhist culture during the Ayutthaya era.
Many of the temples were destroyed during the invasion of the kingdom by the Burmese and the eventual fall of the capital in 1767. Many of the small temples were spared and these historic temples have been maintained and are still in use today. One of these temples is Wat Chula Muni. It’s unknown when exactly it was built but the buildings are from probably the late Ayutthaya era.
The highlight of the temple is a Sukhothai era Buddha that was housed inside the old ordination hall. It is made of gold and bronze and is believed to be around 800 years old.
The temple is a small country temple and unknown to people outside of the area but it is a great piece of Thai history.
