Wat Sa Kaeo is located in Tambon Bang Sadet approximately
200 meters away from Wat Tha Sutthawat along the irrigation canal
road. If travel from Ayutthaya using Ayutthaya Ang Thong route
(Highway No. 309) Km 39-40, entrance to the temple will be on the left
side. This temple was constructed in 1699 when it was originally named
Wat Sakae. This temple has become the orphans care center with many
children under supervision. Therefore, Wat Sa Kaeo Orphanage Li Gay
troupe has been established for earning income to cover the expenses in
bringing up themselves, which in turn makes this temple become well
known.
Inside Wat Sa Kaeo, there is Samakkhisamakhan
building, which is a center for hand woven fabrics project under Her
Majesty the Queens initiation established in 1981, currently under the
supervision of Cottage Industry Section, Ministry of Industry. Also,
there are good-quality woven clothes e.g. sarong, bathing cloth, etc.
In front of the temple is the location of Amphoe Pa Mok Cultural
Center, providing demonstration of weaving, silverware and court doll
production, and agriculture produce from housewives e.g. banana. This
represents the dissemination of Amphoe Pa Mok workmanship skills to be
known and sold to the public.
Both attractions are open daily from 8
am. 4 pm.
