Wat Maheyong is a Buddhist temple in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district, Thailand. It was originally built in 1438, during the reign of King Borommarachathirat II, and restored in 1711 by King Thai Sa.[1]
The major buildings in this temple[1][2] are its chedi (stupa) and ubosot (ordination hall). The chedi's platform is supported by 80 sculpted elephants, and its ubosot is currently under worship.
