Ancient temple in th

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

The temple grounds are located in a lowland area with a large pond at the northwest corner. Several ancient ponds are also present within the old city walls. The surroundings are a village, populated by residents, and have convenient road access. The temple buildings include the ubosot (ordination hall) measuring 8.30 meters wide and 15 meters long.

The prayer hall is 12 meters wide and 21 meters long, built in 1983. There are seven monks' quarters. Religious objects include the principal Buddha image in the ordination hall, known as "Luang Pho Khao," in the Mara-Vijaya posture. A replica of the Buddha's footprint, 4 feet 10 inches wide and 6 feet 8 inches long, is carved on a stone slab. The footprint is the right footprint, with 54 asterisks around the edge. The interior depicts various Jataka tales. It was built by King Maha Thammaracha I in 1902. There is also a Sri Lankan-style chedi with a base 8 wa wide and 12 wa high. The construction is in the Sukhothai style. Wat Trapang Thong was built around 1283 and takes its name from the pond within the temple grounds, known as Trapang Thong. Historically, it was built during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great. Later, during the reign of King Maha Thammaracha Lithai, renovations were carried out. Around 1907, Phraya Ronchai Chanyut (Garuda) led the people in restoring the ordination hall. In 1930, Phra Ratchaprasitthikun, the provincial abbot of Sukhothai, brought the Buddha's footprint from Khao Phra Bat Yai to be enshrined at this temple. Annual worship ceremonies are held at Wat Trapang Thong, a temple granted royal permission for the construction of a boundary marker. The temple registry lists the year 1830 as evidence. There are 20 monks and 34 novices residing there. The temple has been offering Buddhist scriptures since 1932.

Sukhothai Historical Park

Wat Chang Lom Wat Chang Lom (Sukhothai Historical Park) is a temple outside the city walls on the east side, Tambon Mueang Kao, Amphoe Mueang Sukhothai, Sukhothai Province. It has a history of being built to dedicate to King Maha Thammaracha I around the 20th century. The highlight is the Sri Lankan-style pagoda or inverted bell, surrounded by elephants, similar to the Wat Sorasak pagoda (with a single-tiered elephant surround) and another Wat Chang Lom pagoda in Si Satchanalai Historical Park, but different in that it has a two-tiered elephant-surrounded base, in a relatively complete condition. The base is surrounded by 32 elephants and has a brick wall base. #VisitHistoricalSites #Mr.Tourism
