I did not see it myself but read about it, and when I visited, I did not know it was the stupa containing the royal ashes of King Uthumphon. I only found out after returning to Thailand. This site is important to all Thai people and represents shared history between Thailand and Myanmar. King Uthumphon was the 34th monarch, reigning only two months before passing the throne to his brother (the 35th king). About ten years later, the second fall of Ayutthaya occurred.
King Uthumphon was conscripted to Myanmar and lived in a village near Mandalay today. The stupa containing the royal ashes of King Uthumphon is about 15 kilometers from Mandalay city. Many visitors miss it. I recommend printing a photo to show the motorcycle or taxi driver so they can take you there correctly. mr.hotsia August 2013 Book hotels in Mandalay now 21 53 47.303 N, 96 2 54.443 E GPS coordinates (POI).
