Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit, Ayutthaya
Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit is a major tourist attraction in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit located just next to Wat Phra Si Sanphet. The main Buddha image inside the building is a very huge bronze cast Buddha image named Phra Mongkol Bopit. It was originally enshrined outside the Grand Palace to the east, previously sitting at Wat Chichiang. It was later relocated to the present position and covered with a Mondop building. During the second fall of Ayutthaya, the building and the image were seriously damaged by fire. The building currently seen was refurbished but does not have as stunning craftsmanship as the previous ones. Next to the temple is a small market where you can buy some local craft and souvenir.
