Wat Chana Songkhram, Sukhothai

Wat Chana Songkhram
Wat Chana Songkhram

Just north of Wat Mahathat is the imposing chedi of Wat Chana Songkhram. The temple appears to have been built around the fourteenth century. The bell-shaped stupa is a very good example of the "Sukhothai" style that is considered the highest form of Thai art. To the east are the ruins of the main prayer hall (wiharn), of which very little remains.

Wat Chana Songkhram is between Wat Mahathat and the King Ramkamhaeng Monument. Visit the temple after Wat Mahathat, on your way to Wat Sa Sri.
