Wat Si Chum:

Located in the northwest corner of Sukhothai's old city, Wat Si Chum is the most mysterious of the Sukhothai temples, built in the park in the 13th century and containing the only open-eyed Buddha statue in Sukhothai.

The Buddha's name is Phra Achana, which means there is no fear in the heart. The doorway in front of the Buddha statue is like a gauze veil covering part of the body of the Buddha statue, revealing a beautiful face. The Buddha's fingers are slender and graceful, and the nails are coated with gold leaf. At about 15 meters high, it is the largest seated Buddha statue in Thailand and can only be captured in full with a super wide Angle lens.

Next to the temple is a 200-year-old mango tree (which no longer bears mangoes), and a small temple where only the Buddha's head can be seen from a distance.

Ticket: 100B/ person, not by car. Parking: Free parking at the door. Transportation: Driving or cycling is the most convenient. It's also very close to the old town.

Photo tip: Only around noon, the sun can illuminate the Buddha's head from the top. Or go on a cloudy day to reduce the light ratio between the Buddha statue and the sky. Architecture: Sai Chun Temple was built in the 13th century during the Sukhothai dynasty. The architectural style of this temple is typical, showing the unique features of Buddhist temples in Thailand.

Main features: The most famous feature of Xichun Temple is the huge reclining Buddha statue. The statue is placed in a closed room with only a small door through which you can get a glimpse of the 15m-tall reclining Buddha.

Historical significance: As a temple during the Sukhothai Dynasty, Sichun Temple is one of the important religious sites for local residents and believers. The presence of the Buddha makes the temple a place of pilgrimage and worship.

Visiting these two temples will give you the opportunity to explore the religious and cultural treasures of the Sukhothai dynasty. These ancient and stately buildings bear witness to the prosperity and glory of an important period in Thai history.
