Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat

The temple complex features a 36-meter high prang containing Buddha relics and multiple niches displaying Buddha statues along its exterior walls.

King Lithai of Sukhothai established the temple in 1357, commissioning three large Buddha images including the renowned Phra Buddha Chinnarat statue.

The temple's viharn contains detailed murals depicting Jataka tales, while the surrounding cloister displays numerous Buddha images representing different periods.

The temple opens daily from 6:30 AM to 6 PM, with separate museum hours, and requires visitors to follow a dress code covering shoulders and knees.

The temple maintains an active foundry where artisans continue to create replicas of the Phra Buddha Chinnarat using traditional casting methods.
