Wat Srasri - The temple is located in the middle of a pond.

Bell-Shaped Main Stupa in Sri Lankan Style The main stupa of Wat Sra Sri is a large, circular bell-shaped stupa influenced by Sri Lankan art, unlike the alms-bunch-shaped stupa of Wat Mahathat. This complete structure, standing tall in the center of an island, is significant evidence of the Buddhist influence from Sri Lanka to Sukhothai. Ubosot in the Water (Nathi Sima/Uthoka Sima) A striking feature of the temple, the main stupa (ordination hall) is situated on a small island within a pond. The construction of this main stupa in the water is in accordance with Buddhist beliefs to mark the Sima, or area for monks to perform religious duties, a place of purity. Large Vihara with a Stucco Buddha Image in the Mara-Vijaya Posture In front of the main stupa is a large vihara, which once housed a stucco Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya posture (now only the base and laterite pillars remain). Standing in the ruins of the vihara surrounded by the pond exudes a sense of devotion and solemnity.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck for the Nighttime Light and Sound Show @Sukhothai at Wat Sra Sri, Sukhothai Historical Park, June 28, 2025. The day we went was the last day of the event. We were wondering if we'd even get to see it, as it had been raining all day. The event started at 7 PM sharp, but it was still raining by 6 PM. But we persevered, hoping the show would be okay, as officials were announcing if the sound equipment would get wet. As the time drew near, the weather cooperated, and the rain stopped, allowing the show to resume. The talented performers were incredibly realistic, making us feel like we were transported back to the era of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great. The event will be held again during Loi Krathong. ✨ "Loi Krathong, Candle Festival, and Fireworks in Sukhothai Province" 2025 🕯️ Join us in preserving this beautiful tradition, dazzled by the dazzling lights of tens of thousands of candles and a grand light and sound show amidst the atmosphere of the World Heritage Site. 🗓️ Date: October 27 - November 5, 2025 📍 Location: Sukhothai Historical Park, Mueang Kao Subdistrict, Mueang Sukhothai District, Sukhothai Province There will be a grand Krathong parade.

Wat Sa Si

Wat Sara Sri is another beautiful temple located in the Sukhothai Historical Park area, Sukhothai Province. It is a beautiful ancient site because it is located in the middle of a pond called Traphang Trakuan. The important things of the temple include a pagoda, a temple, and a church in the middle of the water. However, the pagoda at this temple is in the shape of a round bell, influenced by Sukhothai's adoption of Buddhism from Sri Lanka. This pagoda is also called Sri Lankan. It is another ancient temple since the Sukhothai period that you should not miss if you come to worship in Sukhothai. #VisitHistoricalSite
