Wat Phra Ngam

Wat Phra Ngam, is a ruined Buddhist site in Khlong Sa Bua, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. It was probably abandoned during the second fall of Ayutthaya in 1767. There is no documentary evidence for Wat Phra Ngam. Excavations have revealed that the temple's structure follows the style popular in the early Ayutthaya period and faces east. This temple has a temple gate surrounded by bodhi trees and is nicknamed the 'Gate of Time' because of the sunlight shining through it. The ruined temple is also notable for its archway framed by Bodhi trees, which has earned it the nickname "Gate of Time". On April 11, 2019, the Department of Cultural Promotion, under the Ministry of Culture, officially designated the Bodhi Tree of Wat Phra Ngam as one of the "Rukkhaka Moradok" (Treasured Trees of the Land) for the fiscal year 2019.
