Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit is a major tourist attraction in Ayutthaya, Thailand. This chapel is located to the south of Wat Phra Si Sanphet. The main Buddha image inside the building is a very huge bronze cast Buddha image named Phra Mongkol Bopit. It was originally enshrined outside the Grand Palace to the east, previously sitting at Wat Chichiang intended to stand in the open air. It was later relocated to the present position and covered with a Mondop building. During the second fall of Ayutthaya, the building and the image were seriously damaged by fire. The building currently seen was refurbished but does not have as striking craftsmanship as the earlier ones. The present Viharn and Buddha image have been reconstructed and renovated. Next to the temple is a small market where you can buy some local craft and souvenir. The admission fee to the Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit is 50 baht/person.
