Wat Chom Khiri Nat Phrot is on the peak of Khao
Buat Nak between the foot of Dechatiwong Bridge and Chiraprawat Fort.
Legend says that when Burmese troops sacked Ayutthaya for the second
time, they built this temple to show that they also hold the Buddhism
faith. The most interesting objects here are the replica of Lord
Buddhas Footprint and a convocation hall that locals call Bot Thewada
Sang. There is a fair to pay homage and attach gold leaves to the
footprint in November. Boat races are held in conjunction with the
fair.
Getting There:Take Highway No. 32 (Asian
Highway) to before the foot of Dechatiwong Bridge and turn left into
the temple. It is about 1 kilometer from the city.
