An old temple in the Sukhothai period located within the city limits. We can walk from Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat and Wat Nang Phaya, when arriving, we will see the Ceylon-style pagoda which is the main highlight of this temple. Inside the temple is spacious, you can take a leisurely stroll. There are no crowds and markets in the temple like the main temple opposite. Right now, the temple is building a large Phra Nang Phaya from the ground about 5-8 meters high, which will be another highlight that is about to happen. The nearly 600-year-old pagoda dates back to the Somdet Phra Borommatrailokkanat The pagoda is said to enshrine Buddha's relics. In addition, nearby there is a museum that enshrines beautiful Sukhothai Buddha images. There is also a museum displaying old coins, banknotes, musical instruments and glass objects. The walls are decorated with exquisite frescoes. Including the ancient bell tower A recently built museum with a garden and six statues of swans stand beside the ordination hall. Another thing that cannot be mentioned is The Thammachak Wheel, size 4.5 meters, located high inside the temple First, the abbot of Phra Khu Sithithamwiphat The intention was to design the Buddhists to be able to turn the wheel by themselves. But probably with the size and weight that is too large, therefore built to stand still rather than display The Wheel of Dharma has 8 spokes, meaning the Eightfold Path or the path to attainment. In addition, there is another meaning that has been mentioned is that the shape of a circle (jatra) represents the teachings of the Lord Buddha in the middle way. and represents the perfection of the Dhamma
