Visit Sukhothai World Heritage...don't miss Sukhothai Heritage

Another beautiful place to stay that I have passed by many times but never had the chance to stay. The outside is so beautiful, I wanted to go in and see. I stayed at Sabai Sabai Sukhothai, which is on the opposite side. It took 3 minutes to walk to Heritage Sukhothai for dinner, or you can ride a bicycle for free. The dinner at Sukhothai Heritage comes in sets. It was delicious. I almost couldn't finish it by myself. The atmosphere here is like a Sukhothai boutique, luxurious and airy, with buildings surrounding it on all sides. There is a lotus pond in the middle. The accommodation area is separated into both the left and right wings. There is a swimming pool on both sides. I spent the afternoon here cooling down with a pool. The staff here were very friendly, greeted me, and provided excellent service. I was impressed with the place, the atmosphere, and the people.

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.

Wat Mahathat

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck#WatMahathat is the largest temple in the city. It was built in the 18th Buddhist century or the early Sukhothai period. In the stone inscription of King Ramkhamhaeng of 1835 B.E. (Pillar 1, Side 2, Lines 23–26), it is mentioned that "In the middle of Sukhothai city, there is a viharn, there is a Buddha statue", which means the royal temple on the east side of the main chedi used to be the place where a Sukhothai-style bronze Buddha statue was enshrined, 6.25 meters wide at the lap. Phra Maha Thammaracha Lithai ordered it to be cast and celebrated in 1904 B.E. WatMahathat also has important components, namely the Mahathat Chedi and 8 surrounding prang-shaped chedis, which act as chedis for each side (direction). They are influenced by Khmer art and have stucco patterns influenced by Sri Lankan art. The chedis at the four corners are five-spire castle-shaped chedis influenced by Bagan-Hariphunchai-Lanna art. They are considered one of the most complete examples of authentic Sukhothai castle-style chedis left in the world. Wat Mahathat was announced as an ancient monument in the Royal Gazette Volume 52, Part 75, dated March 8, 1935. The ancient monument group, the area of the temple is 200 meters wide and long on each side.

Wat Si Chum

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck Wat Sri Chum is an ancient religious site located outside the northern city wall of Sukhothai Historical Park, Muang Kao Subdistrict, Mueang Sukhothai District, Sukhothai Province. This temple enshrines a large Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya posture called "Phra Atchana". The Buddha statue is enshrined in a pavilion, which has now collapsed, leaving only the surrounding walls, making it an outdoor Buddha statue to this day. The structure of Wat Sri Chum is more special than other temples in Sukhothai Historical Park because it does not have a main chedi, but is replaced by a pavilion enshrining a Buddha statue inside, which is located behind the main chapel. This temple is believed to have been built during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, or around the 19th Buddhist century. It was first restored by the Fine Arts Department in 1953 and the pavilion area was restored again in 1967. Phra Phuttha Atchana is considered one of the most important tourist attractions and symbols of Sukhothai Historical Park. In addition, the area on the northern side of the pavilion also consists of a large wild mango tree that is more than 200 years old, with a height of more than 20 meters. It has been preserved and registered as a national heritage by the Ministry of Culture. "Wat Sri Chum" comes from the original local word meaning Bodhi tree. Therefore, the name Sri Chum means a grove of Bodhi trees. However, in the book of the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya written in the late Ayutthaya period, this meaning was not understood, so the place was called "Rishi Chum". Wat Sri Chum is assumed to have been built during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng, as stated in the Sukhothai Inscription No. 1 that At the foot of the bed of Sukhothai city... there is Phra Achana, there is a castle. The principal Buddha image in the pavilion is therefore called "Phra Achana". The pavilion is 32 meters wide on each side, 15 meters high, and the walls are 3 meters thick. The left wall has a hole for a staircase. The wall leads to the roof. There are old paintings on the walls of the tunnel, but almost all of them are faded. This painting is almost 700 years old. The ceiling and walls have 50 slate slabs carved with lines depicting stories from various Jatakas, arranged continuously. All of these are considered to be the oldest Thai paintings. During the Ayutthaya period, when Somdet Phra Naresuan the Great declared independence in 2127 at the city of Kraeng, causing other cities to cancel their tributes to the Burmese, but there was still the city of Cheliang (Sawankhalok) that refused to comply with his royal command. So he led his army to conquer Cheliang and gathered his army at Wat Sri Chum before going to attack Cheliang. Since the battle was between Thais and other Thais, the soldiers were not motivated to fight. Somdet Phra Naresuan therefore planned to boost the soldiers’ morale by having one of his soldiers climb up the stairs behind the Buddha image and speak words of encouragement to them, which gave the soldiers the motivation to fight. As a result, the legend of the talking Buddha at Wat Sri Chum arose. Phra Naresuan also held the water-pouring ceremony to pledge allegiance at this temple. According to evidence, this temple was extensively renovated during the reign of King Lithai and has been continuously maintained. It is assumed that this temple was abandoned during the late Ayutthaya period until the reign of King Rama IX when a renovation project was launched in 1952. The restoration of the Phra Achana Buddha image was initiated by Professor Silpa Bhirasri and Professor Khian Yimsiri. As a result, the temple is in its current state. "Phra Achana" The word Achana has been interpreted as referring to the Pali word "Ajala", which means "one who is unshakable, steadfast", "one who is worthy of respect and worship". Phra Achana is a Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya attitude, sitting cross-legged. The material is stucco, the inner core is made of brick and laterite. The lap is 11.30 meters wide and 15 meters high. The Buddha image is large and fills the entire temple. It is in the Sukhothai style.
