Chedi Phukhao Thong

Visitors can climb as far a landing halfway up the chedi, from which the surrounding rice fields and the town of Ayutthaya can be seen.

In 2014 it was possible for the public to visit the shrine inside the central tower.

In 1569, having taken Ayutthaya, King Bayinnaung of Bago (now part of Myanmar) built a large chedi, next to the Buddhist temple of Wat Phukhao Thong, to commemorate his victory.

In a restoration during the reign of King Boromakot (ruled 1733–1758) a new chedi in Thai style, having a square plan with indented corners, was built on the base of the ruin.
