Wat Sala Pun

Wat Sala Pun is an active Buddhist temple and second-class royal temple (Worawihan) located in Tha Wasukri Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Ayutthaya, Thailand. Situated near the Ayutthaya Historical Park on the edge of the old city island, it is notable for its Ayutthaya-period origins, early Rattanakosin restoration, traditional Thai architecture, well-preserved murals and its continued role as a functioning monastery and community religious center.

Visitors can expect a functioning Buddhist monastery with a central ubosot (ordination hall), viharn, chedi, and monastic residences set in a calm, compact compound. The temple features traditional Thai architecture, gilded Buddha images, interior murals, and well-maintained grounds. As an active temple, visitors will see monks, prayer areas and merit-making activities. The setting is quiet compared to major ruins, allowing for sightseeing, photography of architecture and respectful observation of daily religious practice.
