Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat

These ruins consist of a large laterite chedi (dating to 1448–88) between two wí·hăhn. One of the wí·hăhn holds a large seated Sukhothai Buddha image, a smaller standing image and a bas-relief of the famous walking Buddha, exemplary of the flowing, boneless Sukhothai style. The other wí·hăhn contains some less distinguished images.
