Wat Pa Mamuang, Buddhist temple ruins in Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand.

The temple features stone foundations with high pillars supported by a base, displaying architectural elements influenced by Mon design patterns.

King Lithai founded this royal temple in the 14th century, planting a mango grove and appointing the knowledgeable Mahasamī as Sangharaja in 1361.

The excavation revealed two bronze statues of Shiva and Vishnu larger than life size, now exhibited at the National Museum in Bangkok.

Visitors can reach the temple complex through Route 12 in the western section of Sukhothai Historical Park, near several other historical monuments.

This temple marks the location where King Lithai became the first Siamese monarch to experience Buddhist monastic life on November 23, 1361.
