Wat Naphrameru

Located close to the Klong Muang banks, Wat Naphrameru is an ancient temple that can be found in Ayutthaya. A great way to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya and its many temples is by taking a Bangkok cruise tour such as those provided by Anantara Cruises Thailand. These Bangkok cruises let you experience the country’s rich heritage on traditional style barges and feature luxurious accommodation. Constructed in the early 16th century, Wat Naphrameru is still used as a temple and is where one can find a remarkable statue of Buddha. Dating back to 1505, this famous statue is adorned in gold leaf and is definitely worth seeing when in Ayutthaya. The temple also witnessed such significant events as the signing of a peace treaty in the 18th century between the king of Burma and King Maha Chakkraphat.
