Wat Chang Rop, Buddhist temple in Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park, Thailand.
The temple features a central Ceylonese-style chedi surrounded by 68 stone elephant sculptures at its base, creating a monumental architectural structure.
The temple complex dates back to the 14th century during the Sukhothai period when Kamphaeng Phet served as a strategic defense point for the kingdom.
The temple reflects Buddhist forest monk traditions with its elevated position and incorporation of natural elements into its architectural design and layout.
Visitors can access the temple through the main entrance of Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park, which operates daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The base of the central chedi displays intricate carvings of demon figures and female dancers between the elephant sculptures, demonstrating ancient Thai craftsmanship.
