Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat

The temple features a large vihara with mother-of-pearl decorated entrance doors and a 36-meter Khmer-style prang containing Buddha relics.

King Lithai of Sukhothai established the temple in 1357 on the east bank of the Nan River, making it a central point for Buddhist practice.

The temple houses the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, a 375-centimeter tall bronze Buddha statue covered in gold paint since the 17th century.

The temple opens daily from 06:30 to 18:00, with an entrance fee of 40 THB for international visitors to access the inner temple area.

The Phuttha Chinnarat National Museum within the temple grounds displays ancient artifacts, votive tablets, ceramics, and regional art collections.
