  Chedi Phukhao Thong

 

Thailand

Chedi Phukhao Thong, the second tallest stupa in Ayutthaya province, stands 2 sen, 5 wah and 1 keub (ca. 90 meter) tall, i.e. just 1 wah (ca. 2 meter) shorter than the bell-shaped chedi of Wat Yai Chai Mongkon (fig.).

 

The stupa is named after the adjacent Buddhist temple Wat Phukhao Thong which was founded in 1387 AD by Somdet Phra Ramesuan, the son of Somdet Phra Ramathibodi I (fig.), the founder of Ayutthaya. In this photo, made in 2017, the tower was getting an overhaul.
