Ratburana
Temple
 King
Borom Ratchathirat II (Chao Sam Phraya), the seventh King
of Ayutthaya, built Wat Ratburana at the site where Chao Ai
and Chao Yi were killed in elephant-back combat. He constructed
two pagodas at the site, and later added a chapel, making
the site a full monastery.
During
a restoration in 1958, a number of important artifacts were
discovered, including bejeweled gold regalia, superbly crafted
gold and jewel antiques, and golden Buddha images.
Ratburana
Temple is located directly opposite Wat Phra Mahathat on Naresuan
Road, in the northern half of old Ayutthaya.
