History
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.
