Prasat Nakhon Luang

Prasat Nakhon Luang is a historic Khmer-style palace in Nakhon Luang District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, on the east bank of the Pa Sak River. Built in 1631 during the reign of King Prasat Thong of Ayutthaya, it was inspired by Angkor Wat and served as a royal residence. The laterite and brick complex features a central prang, galleries and ancient walls, and is a registered ancient monument.

Visitors can expect a compact historic complex centered on a Khmer-style prang set on an elevated laterite base with surrounding galleries, stairways and ruined walls. The site is open-air with brick and laterite structures, Buddha images and shaded grounds near the Pa Sak River. Visitors can walk around the main prasat, explore the courtyard and walls, view Ayutthaya-period architecture and take photographs of the distinctive tiered tower and historic ruins.
