The annexe contains an exhibit on foreign relations with Ayutthaya. The centre is open 9am to 4.30pm weekdays, 9am to 5pm weekends. Admission to both costs 100 Baht and 50 Baht for students.

Wat Pra Sri Sanpet
This was the largest temple in Ayutthaya in its time, and it was used as the royal temple/palace for several Ayutthaya kings. Built in the 14th century, the compound was once contained a 16m-high standing Buddha covered with 250Kg of gold, which was melt down by the Burmese conquerors. It is mainly known for the line of three large Chedi (stupas) erected in the quintessential Ayutthaya style. Admission 30 Baht

Wat Mongkhon Bophit
This monastery, just next to Wat Pra Sri Sanpet, contains one of Thailand's largest Buddha images, Pra Mongkhon Bophit - a 15th-century bronze casting. The present wihaan (Buddhist image sanctuary) was built in 1956.

Wat Na Phra Mane
This temple is opposite the Ancient Palace on the other side of Lopburi River. It was not damaged because Burma's king chose the area in the temple to fire cannon at the Palace.
