Phukhao Thong (Thai: ภูเขาทอง) is a subdistrict (tambon) in the Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, administrated by Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district in central Thailand.
The village is located on the Chao Phraya river about 71 km north of Bangkok and about 3 km north-west of the city of Ayutthaya. Tourist sites include Chedi Phukhao Thong and the adjacent monument to King Naresuan of Ayutthaya.
