Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat Chaliang, Buddhist temple in Si Satchanalai, Thailand.

The temple features a central prang rising 25 meters high, built with laterite blocks, accompanied by multiple viharns and Buddha statues throughout the complex.

Founded in 1237 during the transition from Khmer control to Sukhothai rule, the temple underwent major renovations between 1448 and 1488 under King Borom Trai Lokkanat.

The temple contains numerous Buddha images in different postures, including a large standing Buddha and depictions of Buddha protected by a seven-headed Naga.

Entry costs 20 baht, and visitors can rent bicycles for 50 baht to explore both the temple and the nearby Si Satchanalai Historical Park.

The main prang contains an inner chamber with a lotus-bud stupa believed to house Buddha relics, accessed by a steep stairway on the eastern side.
