Wat Ratchaburana: This monastery was located near Pa Than Bridge opposite Wat Mahathat. King Borom Rachathirat II commanded that two pagodas be built on the ground where Chao Ai and Chao Yi engaged in single-handed combat on elephant's back, and bother were killed. Later, he established a Wihan combined with the Prang nearby and upgraded it to be a monastery.

One of the good view from this temple.

There isn't much left of this temple, they rebuilt some of it to make it better. By looking at the foundations, it is clear that the temple must have been a large one.
