Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Chaliang

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Chaliang is a historic Buddhist temple ruin in Si Satchanalai Subdistrict, Si Satchanalai District, Sukhothai Province, within Si Satchanalai Historical Park, part of the Historic Town of Sukhothai UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally built as a Khmer Mahayana Buddhist sanctuary in the 12th-13th century and later expanded in the Sukhothai period, it is notable for its large Khmer-style prang, laterite enclosure walls, Sukhothai-style chedi and preserved stucco decoration.

Visitors can expect a large, walled temple compound with a central Khmer-style prang, laterite walls and gateway, ruined viharn and chedi, and scattered Buddha images. The site is set within the flat, park-like grounds of Si Satchanalai Historical Park with open lawns, mature trees and ancient laterite paths. Visitors can walk or cycle between structures, view stucco reliefs and laterite architecture, and explore the atmospheric ruins at a relaxed pace.
