Geocache Description:

Wat Trephang Ngoen.

The temple is in Sukhothai historical park.

When caching in Thailand please bring replacement caches and repair kits. I appreciate the help.

To the west of the Wat Mahathat and within the walls of Sukhothai Historical Park we came across another Wat called Traphang Ngoen. They say that it was built in the fourteenth century and it is located immediately in front of a huge lake. At its sides there are channels in which float innumerable water lillies and lotus flowers as if it is in a lake. It has similar characteristics to those of Wat Sa Si located further north, we find here a Buddha sitting on a pedestal in front of a stupa shaped like a lotus. It also has a prang (temple tower) and a place for holding religious ceremonies (viharn. There is a large area where we also find a Buddha from the era (standing. This temple is known as the "Silver Lake Temple." Just across the lake is the Wat Mahathat. Another place that you should not miss if you're in the area. The best thing for me about this temple is the nature that surrounds it, getting lost in this area is something special. Its gardens and flower-filled gaps are spectacularly relaxing
