| Wat Phra Si Sanphet was used as the royal chapel and, therefore, did not have a Sangavasa (a dwelling for monks). The wat was used for various royal ceremonies and rituals. When the Burmese sacked Ayutthaya in 1767. the gold that covered the Buddha image and other decorations was stripped away and taken by the invaders. King Rama I (1782-1809) transferred the core of Phra Buddha Chao Si Sanphet to Wat Phra Cetuphon in Bangkok. |
