This is the Wihan Luang - The Grand Hall. It is 63m long and 20m wide, with 3 staircases in the front. THere is a window frame on the wall within the Wihan and there are some posts and a Chukkachee (the base one which the Buddha image was placed) remaining.
Built by King Borom Rachathirat II (1424-1448 AD) at the cremation site of his two elder brothers.
Situated in the ancient city of Ayuthya, where the Ramakien is based (and interestingly, the Ramakien is based on the Indian Ramayana, based in the Indian city of Ayodhya).
