Wat Maheyong

East of the island and just beyond the train station is another collection of ruins in a more pastoral setting than central Ayuthaya. Tourist groups are rare out here and most of the grounds are kept trimmed by local farmers' livestock. Wat Maheyong is an operational temple with a popular weekend meditation retreat held in a leafy courtyard beside the temple ruins. The historic portion of the temple was built in 1438.

The outstanding chedi is bell shaped and was once surrounded by a ring of carved elephants statues, a unique feature in Ayuthaya. A brick walkway connects the ruins to nearby Khlong Maheyong; the middle way was reserved for the king.
