Wat Ratburana
King Borom Rachathirat II (Chao Sam Phraya) built a temple on the
site where his two elder brothers were cremated. His two brothers
died in a power struggle to succeed their father, King Nakhon In
who died in 1424. A series of bell-shaped chedis surround the main
prang and a large oblong-shaped viharn is situated at the front.

The architectural style evolved from the Khmer prasat, but has been
adapted by the addition of a higher multi-layered base and an extended
upper section. More corners were added to the main body and the
tower section was extended to become corn-shaped. The antefixes,
on the other hand, were attached to the body of the tower instead
of leaving a decent gap between them which was common in Khmer prasats.
These two temples are separated by Naresuan Road.
