Elephant Temple

Constructed from the late Sukhothai period to the early Ayutthaya period. A Sukhothai-style pagoda is built on a square base supported by 68 semi-collapsed elephant pillars. The sides of the base are decorated with the front half of the elephant statue, the elephant is made of red brick material, and some of the original clay decorations on some elephants have been repaired. The original Sri Lankan style pagodas in the temple are now only a few left.

Wat Chang Lom

#Get a discount without relying on luck #Wat Chang Lom has an important 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 corners of the base are larger than the surrounding elephants. The second level consists of niches with Buddha statues in the Mara-Vijaya posture, with 17 Bodhi tree sculptures in the background. Scholars assume that Wat Chang Lom is likely the same temple as the one mentioned in the first stone inscription, which reads, "1208, the year of the Rooster, the excavation of all the relics, the worship of the relics was performed for six days, then it was buried in the middle of Si Satchanalai city, the northern pagoda was built six mornings, and the Wiang Pha Lom was built around the great relic three mornings." From this statement, it is widely accepted and believed that it was likely built around 1828 - 1831.
