Wat Thung Saliam (Reverend Father Sila)

Tung Sliem, Tung Sliem.

This Buddha statue in the posture of Naga Prak is held in great reverence by the people of Sukhothai. Originally enshrined in the Cave of Chaeram deep within the forest, it was later moved to Wat Thung Saliam by local villagers. Its distinguishing feature is that it is supported by a thip fabric and is adorned with deep carvings of star patterns into the sandstone, differing from most Buddha statues which typically display simple lines. Furthermore, this Buddha statue is carved from gray sandstone, and the vertical line on the forehead indicates that it was likely made in Thailand around the year 1929. 1. **By Car**: From Sukhothai to Thung Saliam, take Route 12 for about 10 kilometers until you reach an intersection, then turn right onto Highway 1113. Continue straight for approximately 29 kilometers, then turn left and drive another 25 kilometers to Wat Luang Por Sila in Thung Saliam District. 2. **By Bus**: Take a bus from Bangkok to Sukhothai or from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai. Disembark at Sukhothai Bus Station and transfer to a bus heading to Thung Saliam, which is 64 kilometers away. Get off at Thung Saliam Bus Station, then take a local bus to the temple. 3. **By Air**: Fly from Bangkok to Sukhothai. Once in Sukhothai, take a local shuttle to the city and then transfer to a bus heading to Thung Saliam, which is about 64 kilometers away. Continue by bus to the temple.
