Farmers Harvesting Rice Ayutthaya Thailand
In this video we explore the abandoned temple Wat Ta Krai. Wat Ta krai or the Monastery of the Scissors is a restored ruin located off the city island in the northern area of Ayutthaya. The temple ruins is located west of Klong Sra Bua (Canal of the Lilly Pond).
Excavations indicate that this monastery was already built in the Early Ayutthaya Period
(1350 - 1488 AD). The complex has been vacated during the Burmese war of 1766-1767. In the Ratanakosin Period the temple was used again in the reigns of King Rama IV (Mongkut) and Rama V (Chulalongkorn).
The temple former grounds were very extensive, stretching down to Klong Sra Bua,
creating a large courtyard for cremation ceremonies. Wat Takrai, located just
north of Wat Na Phra Men, the crematory temple of the Royal palace was thus probably
also a crematory temple. The monastery is mentioned in the ancient Ayutthayan poem
Khun Chang Khun Phaen (the story of Khun Phaen, Khun Chang, and the fair Nang Wanthong), as the place where Wanthong was cremated after being executed by royal
order and were Khun Chang and Phra Wai (her son with Khun Phaen) took temporarily
their vows.
