Another important temple in the town, Wat Yai
Suwannaram is situated 1 kilometer east of the city hall. The temple,
featuring a windowless main shrine hall, houses magnificent
300-year-old murals of mythical angels. Its Sala Kanprian
(multi-purpose hall) which was once located in Ayutthaya's Grand
Palace, was entirely built of teakwood and decorated with fine woodwork
especially at the door panels. There is also a preaching throne with
magnificently elaborated Bangkok style woodcarvings and gold gilt works
located in the hall.
