Chedi Phukhao Thong (タイ語:เจดีย์ภูเขาทอง) is a 50-metre 〔Gray P, Ridout L, ''Thailand: The Rough Guide'', 3rd edition, Rough Guides Limited, 1998, ISBN 1-85828-341-8〕 ''chedi'', or Buddhist tower, in the village of Phukhao Thong near Ayutthaya in central Thailand. Visitors can climb as far a landing halfway up the ''chedi'', from which the surrounding rice fields and the town of Ayutthaya can be seen. In 2014 it was possible for the public to visit the shrine inside the central tower. ==History== In 1569, having taken Ayutthaya, King Bayinnaung of Hongsawadi (now part of Myanmar) built a large ''chedi'' in the Mon style, next to the Buddhist temple of Wat Phukhao Thong, to commemorate his victory. Over the next two centuries the ''chedi'' fell into disrepair. In a restoration during the reign of King Boromakot (ruled 1733–1758) a new ''chedi'' in Thai style, having a square plan with indented corners, was built on the base of the ruin. 〔Information panels in the grounds of Wat Phukhao Thong, written by Thai Fine Arts Department, transcribed 2008〕 The adjacent temple, founded by King Ramesuan in 1387, is still in use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chedi Phukhao Thong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
