Wat Si Sawai.
Temple in the old city of Sukhothai.
Wat Si Sawai is located just a bit south and within walking distance of Wat Mahathat. Wat catches the eye at Wat Si Sawai are the three Khmer-style prangs. Wat Si Sawai initially started off as a Hindu temple during the Khmer period. Hindu artifacts found at the temple stylistically indicate it was constructed during the 12- or 13th century. Later on, during the Sukhothai Kingdom, Wat Si Sawai became a Theravada Buddhist temple, and assembly halls were added during that time. The central prang at 15 metres is a bit higher than the two prangs flanking it. Stucco decorations in good condition can still be observed on the eastern (right when coming from the entrance) and the central prang.
