Travel to Sukhothai in 1 day

#OneDayTravel Start a new day in Sukhothai by giving alms to monks at Saphan Bun, Wat Trapang Thong. Monks will walk in a line on the bridge at around 6.30 a.m. amidst the atmosphere of near dawn, pink sky, birds flying out to find food, and the sun rising. Wat Trapang Thong is also historically important because it is located within the walls of Sukhothai city on an island in the middle of a pond called Trapang Thong. There is a bell-shaped main pagoda with 8 surrounding pagodas. Inside the temple, there are also footprints of the Sukhothai Buddha carved into 108 auspicious patterns, as well as a sacred well, which was one of the wells where water was used to bless the coronation ceremonies of King Rama IX and X. Not far from Wat Trapang Thong, before reaching Sukhothai Historical Park, we recommend a delicious restaurant called "Krung Kao Restaurant" which serves simple a la carte menus but uses quality ingredients, large seafood, fresh, crisp organic vegetables, and very delicious flavors. Plus the prices are affordable, such as Tom Yum Kung, Yum Kai Yum Ma, Shrimp Fried Rice, Suki Talay, etc. The highlight that anyone who comes to Sukhothai must visit is the Historical Park. You can take a tram to see it or ride a bicycle, which is also fun. The largest temple is Wat Mahathat, where we will see a pagoda in the shape of a rice bundle, which is a unique characteristic of Sukhothai. There is a pedestal that used to be the place of the largest bronze Buddha image in Thailand, Phra Sri Sakyamuni, which has now been moved to Wat Suthat in Bangkok. But the most popular spot that everyone who goes there must take a picture of is Wat Si Chum, which has a very large Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya posture. Finally, let's end with fun activities at "Sangkhalok Art", where in addition to letting us choose to shop for Sangkhalok or Sukhothai-era pottery, they also have workshops that teach us to sculpt or paint according to each person's ability. Young children and even adults will definitely love it.

Wat Traphang Tong Lang

Ancient temple in the middle of a pond, Sukhothai province Wat Trapang Thong is located within the walls of Sukhothai city or to the east of the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum, Sukhothai. It is an ancient site located on an island in the middle of a pond called Trapang Thong. There is a main chedi in the shape of a bell, made of laterite as the base, while the upper part is made of bricks. Around the main chedi are 8 surrounding chedis. As for the chapel (the church), whose walls and roof are still quite intact, this is because about 100 years ago, Phraya Ronachai Chanyut (Garuda), the governor of Sukhothai, came to ordain as a novice and collected money to build the chapel. In 2005, the chapel was renovated again. An important thing about this temple is the footprint of the Buddha from the Sukhothai period, carved with 108 auspicious patterns. This footprint was moved from Khao Phra Bat Yai. Which Phra Maha Thammaracha Lithai built and enshrined at Khao Sumanakut in 1902 #VisitHistoricalSite #Mr.Tourist

Wat Si Sawai

#Get a discount without relying on luck# Wat Sri Sawai is located about 350 meters south of Wat Mahathat. This important ancient site is located in the glass wall. It consists of three prangs in the Lopburi art style. The prangs are quite slender and located on a low base. Some of the stucco patterns resemble those on Chinese porcelain. During the Yuan Dynasty, a lintel carved with the image of Narayana reclining on the ocean was found, parts of idols, and a lingam, showing that it was once a Hindu temple. It was then converted into a Buddhist temple by adding a chapel at the front, and later became a Buddhist temple. Wat Sri Sawai was originally a Brahman or Hindu temple. It is a three-tiered Khmer prang with a moat surrounding the three prangs. This ancient site originated from the Khmer castle style, but it has been modified from the original, for example, the decorative parts of the Khmer castle called banthaeng have become jackfruit petals, and the stucco decorated with jackfruit petals in the shape of Garuda fighting the naga and angels. The prang of Wat Sri Sawai is therefore different from the prangs of the Ayutthaya period, which are prototyped from. The prang in Khmer art is more similar to the Khmer style than the prang in the Sukhothai style.
