Si Satchanalai: A UNESCO World Heritage City

Si Satchanalai Historical Park: A Legacy of Past Glory Si Satchanalai Historical Park in Sukhothai Province is a place rich in historical stories and the charm of the ancient city of Sukhothai. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 due to its architectural and cultural significance. The highlights here include Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Chaliang, a major temple of the city with a beautiful Lanka-style stupa, and Wat Chang Lom, which features a main stupa surrounded by 39 carved elephants, a unique sight. Additionally, there are many other ancient sites reflecting the past glory of Si Satchanalai, such as Wat Nang Phaya and Wat Chedi Chet Thaeo, which showcase authentic Sukhothai art. A visit here not only allows you to experience the beauty of ancient sites but also to fully immerse yourself in Thai history.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck#SukhothaiTravel #ThaiTemple #BeautifulTemple #SililTrip Wat Chang Lom has a significant highlight, which is a Sri Lankan-style pagoda on a square base with 2 levels. The first level consists of 39 full-body stucco elephants surrounding the base on all 4 sides. The elephants at the 4 corners of the base are larger than the surrounding bodies. The second level consists of niches with Buddha statues in the Mara-Vijaya posture with a Bodhi tree sculpture in the background, totaling 17 statues. The elephants are more distinctive than the stucco elephants at other temples: they stand fully, are taller than real elephants, and are decorated with stucco lotus flowers in front. Currently, most of the elephants have decayed. Only a few elephant heads can be seen, but the beauty of Ayutthaya-style sculptures is still intact. In addition, Wat Chang Lom also has a chapel in front of the main pagoda. The rest are 2 small chapels. The temple grounds are very beautiful, peaceful and shady. The remaining Buddha statues for us to see...when we see them, we will see one of the dharma that... Everything in the world is impermanent...everything arises-exists-and eventually ceases Location: Sri Satchanalai National Park, Sri Satchanalai Subdistrict, Sri Satchanalai District, Sukhothai 64190 🕰️: Opening hours: Open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
