| Sukhothai Historical Park [ West of The City Walls ] |
| West of the Sukhothai city walls the main ruins are: |
[ 1 ] Wat Saphan Hin
The main feature of the remains of this “Temple of the Stone Bridge” is
the viharn positioned at the top of the hill, which holds a 12.5 metre
high stucco image of Buddha, with the right hand raised in the attitude
of giving protection.
|
[ 2 ] Wat Phra Bat Noi
The remains of this wat consist of a square-based chedi with a
structure to hold a Buddha in a niche on each face. A small viharn in
front of the chedi once contained the slate footprint of Buddha, now in
the Khamhaeng National Museum. To the south there is an eight-sided
laterite chedi with beautiful details.
|
[ 3 ] Phra Ruang Dam
This is a restored, working earthenwork dam with an inner side faced
with stone. It is mentioned in the Sukhothai inscription of King Ram
Khamhaeng and bears testament to the existence of the advanced water
system that supplied the town.
