‘Of some of these structures many examples would be found in the same enclosure. Thus in the Vāt Jai at Sukhodaya, the most important temple illustrated by Fournereau, there was one great *phra-chedi* and its annexes, two *bots*, six *vihāns*, three *kamburiens*, one *maṇḍapa*, ten small pavilions, five *phra-prang*, and over a hundred *phra-chedi*, most of these being erected by private persons as funeral monuments and memorials—altogether nearly two hundred structures.’²
