Wat Traphang Ngoen, Sukhothai

Historical Park of Old Sukhothai

This temple is located within the Sukhothai Historical Park, next to a pond historically known as "Traphang Ngoen," and near Wat Mahathat. The ancient site features a prominent lotus-bud-shaped chedi situated behind the vihara. What sets it apart from other temples is that four corners of the structure are adorned with stucco Buddha statues in both the Abhayamudra and Lila postures. The vihara consists of seven chambers constructed from brick, with columns made of laterite. Inside, there is a central stucco Buddha statue in the Mara Vijaya posture. The ubosot stands directly opposite the vihara, on an island surrounded by the pristine waters of the Traphang Ngoen pond, which serves as a sacred area for the monastic community, similar to Wat Sa Si. This temple is unique in that it lacks enclosing walls, instead using a dug moat as its boundary. Its name is fitting, as "Traphang" means pond in Khmer. The chedi, which is unusual in its lotus bud shape, is complemented by Buddha images placed at all four corners.
