Dammit, I've been here too! Not much left of the temple these days though, as it was sacked by the Burmese along with the rest of Ayutthaya in 1767 and has laid in ruins ever since. The theft was done during archeaological digs at the site and was almost certainly an inside job. Obligatory pictures (http://jpatokal.iki.fi/photo/travel/Thailand/Ayutthaya/index.html) (scroll to the end).
The Chao Sam Phraya Museum in Ayutthaya houses the recovered portions of the loot, which are probably the most interesting exhibit there. No pictures allowed though.
