Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon is one of Ayutthaya's most revered temples, known for its huge chedi said to have been raised by King Naresuan to mark his elephant-duel victory over the Burmese crown prince. Rows of saffron-draped Buddha images line the cloister, and a large reclining Buddha lies nearby. Unlike many ruins, it is still an active monastery.
