6
Wat
Chaiwattanaram
1630 A.D.
Build on the west
bank of Chao
Praya river, facing
the south-west
side of the island.
A cluster of large
Cambodian style
pagodas keeping
the remains of the
royal family.
Ongoing damages
and surrounded
by more than 2
meters of water
at reporng me.
The main concern
is related to
hygrometric issues
linked to the
temple’s plinth inner
chambers filled
with clay, which is
expanding due to
the absorpon of
water, threatening
collapse of the
main structure. In
addion, if when
drying the clay will
shrink back and
might cause damage
to the walls.
