Lonely Planet review

Northwest of the palace centre, Wat Sao Thong Thong is in pretty poor shape. The wíhaan and large seated Buddha are from the Ayuthaya period; King Narai restored the wíhaan (changing its windows to an incongruous but intriguing Gothic style) so it could be used as a Christian chapel. Niches along the inside walls contain Lopburi-style Buddhas with naga (serpent) protectors.
