Lin Zin Kone Cemetery

When Inwa-based King Sin Phyu Shin sacked Ayuthaya in today's Thailand, he reputedly returned with thousands of prisoners including the Ayuthayan King Udombhara who became a local monk. When Udombhara died nearly 30 years later, was buried in a grand tomb whose location has been long disputed. In 2013 archaeologists claimed 'with 90% certainty' to have identified the grave in Lin Zin Kone Cemetery. It's currently just a pile of old bricks backing onto rubbish-strewn waste ground but the press has reported Thai-funded plans for a $3 million restoration.
