Wat Si Chum, Buddhist temple in Suan Dok, Thailand
The temple contains a monumental seated Buddha statue measuring 11 meters in height, enclosed within a square mandapa building structure.
Archaeological excavations in 1891 by Louis Fournereau revealed the temple's foundations, leading to extensive studies of its 13th-century architecture.
The Buddha statue's fingers display golden leaves placed by Buddhist practitioners who come to make offerings and prayers at this sacred site.
The temple charges an entrance fee of 100 Thai Baht for international visitors and 20 Thai Baht for Thai nationals, with opening hours from sunrise to sunset.
A narrow passage in the temple wall contains ancient slate inscriptions depicting early Buddhist teachings and stories from the Sukhothai period.
