Wat Sa Si  (No.3) ,Sukhothai Historical Park

About "Wat Sa Si " 



         Northwest of Wat Mahathat ,this beautiful ancient monument is in the middle of the large reservoir known as Traphang Trakuan.Its important buildings include a round bell-shaped chedi ,an assembly hall (vihara) and an ordination hall (Ubosatha).

         The round stupa serves as historical evidence of the prevalence of Sinhalese Buddhism in Sokhothai.This circula stupa is sometime known as a chedi in the Sri Lankan bell-shaped style. The ordination hall in the middle of the reservoir point to a Buddhist concept of demarcating an area where monks perform religious functions by enclosing the holy precincts with water as a symbol of purity.

          Prior to 1978 A.D.a road name Charot Withi Thong ran through the temple. Fully conscious of the damage and environment problems ,the Fine Arts Department demolished it and build a new one along side the reservoir.
