Treasures of the past

While standing inside the recently opened Ayutthaya Gold Treasure Exhibition Building at the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum, visitors may picture a gloomy night in September 1957 when robbers robbed the vault that was hidden beneath Wat Ratchaburana's main Phra Prang. When digging further, they discovered a glowing three-floor gold treasure and relocated some priceless items to a house opposite the temple.
