Wat Trapang Ngoen
Wat Trapang Ngoen temple, founded in the 14th century, is in the central sector of Sukhothai historical park, near Wat Mahathat. What really stands out is a seated Buddha image facing a vast lake. As a backgound, a well preserved chedi and in front of it a series of columns that still presist , resisting the passage of time.
Wat Sa Si
The temple of Wat Sa Si, built in the 14th century, is located on the central sector island, near Wat Mahathat. The highlight in this sanctuary, flanked by a body of water filled with lotus flowers, is a seated Buddha, accompanied by 6 relatively well-preserved chedis and several columns.
Wat Phra Phai Luang
Wat Phra Phai Luang was founded around the 12th century by the Khmer, being one of the city's oldest temples, preceding the founding of the kingdom of Sukhothai. At a time when Hinduism still prevailed, it is believed that this complex, dedicated to Vishnu, had a great spiritual significance.
” The most striking thing in Thailand was the people. With such a distant culture and, often, life condition far from ideal, every day they make statment, deciding to embrace life with a smile.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Travel Blog
We decided to start our blog with Thailand because it is one of the popular destinations amongst backpackers. With time we will add many other destinations to this space.
Wat Si Chum
Wat Si Chum, perhaps the second most popular temple in Sukhothai, is known for its 15m high Buddha image, called Phra Atchana ("the still Buddha"). The statue is located inside a huge Mandapa. This one, conceived in a very singular form, has a passage to the inside and the statue.
Ramkhamhaeng National Museum
After touring Sukhothai historical park by bike, it is at the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum that you will find a few more pieces of the puzzle, which is the history of Sukhothai. This museum, inaugurated in the sixties, is full of statues, stone inscriptions, deities carved in bronze and more.
Wat Trapang Ngoen
Wat Trapang Ngoen temple, founded in the 14th century, is in the central sector of Sukhothai historical park, near Wat Mahathat. What really stands out is a seated Buddha image facing a vast lake.
