Wat Sri Sawai, Hindu-Buddhist temple ruins in Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand.
The temple complex contains three laterite prangs representing the Hindu trinity, surrounded by ancient walls and a moat spanning the sacred grounds.
Originally built as a Hindu shrine in the 12th century, the temple transformed into a Buddhist sanctuary during the 14th century Sukhothai period.
The architectural elements combine Khmer design in the lower sections with Thai influences in the upper portions, displaying regional construction methods.
Visitors can access Wat Sri Sawai through the Sukhothai Historical Park entrance, where bicycles facilitate exploration of multiple temple sites.
Excavations at the temple grounds revealed Chinese porcelain artifacts and Hindu deity statues, indicating trade connections with distant civilizations.
