Wat Mahathat is the most important and arguably the most impressive temple in the Sukhothai Historical park. The name of the temple, translates to Temple of the great relic.
Founded by King Sri Indraditya sometime between 1292 and 1347, Wat Mahathat was the main temple of the city and the Kingdom of Sukhothai. The deasign of the temple is based on the Mandala, representing the universe, with the principal stupa (chedi), built in 1345 to enshrine relics of the Lord Buddha. This is surrounded by smaller stupas in eight directions. Four of these show Khmer influences, the other four, reflect the Lanna style. On both sides of the principal stupa are two 9 metre high standing Buddha images, known as Phra Attharot.........

Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai, Thailand
A look around the largest temple in the area of Sukhothai.
Wat Sri Chum - Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand
วัดศรีชุม
Wat Sri Chum is located north of the old city walls and is part of the UNESCO Sukhothai Historical Park and was built in the late 13th century.
The temple of the bodhi tree (the Bodhi Tree was a large and very old sacred fig tree located in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India, under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher later known as the Lord Buddha, is said to have attained enlightenment) features a large solid building (Mondop) with a single narrow slit at the front, rising almost to the full height of the structure. Through this narrow slit can be seen a huge image of the Lord Buddha called Phra Achana, which means 'one who is not frightened' or unpeturbed'
The mondop once had a roof, now gone, so the interior space is open to the elements.........

Wat Mahathat or Mahathat Temple (Thai วัดมหาธาตุ) is the most important and impressive temple in Sukhothai Historical Park. The temple’s name translates to “temple of the great relic”. The temple was founded by Sri Indraditya, between 1292 and 1347 as the main temple of the city as well as the Sukhothai Kingdom.
The Sukhothai Historical Park (Thai อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์สุโขทัย) covers the ruins of Sukhothai, which literally means Dawn of Happiness, capital of the Sukhothai kingdom in the 13th and 14th centuries,in what is now the north of Thailand.

Wat Saphan Hin - Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand
On a hill overlooking the old city stands one of Sukhothai's most beautiful Buddha images, the Phra Attharot Buddha of Wat Saphan Hin. The temple's name means stone bridge, which comes from the slate stone pathway that makes the climb to the top of the hill only slightly easier.
The temple dates to the mid 1300’s and was commissioned by King Ramkhamhaeng
The path is about 300 meters long. There is a stone platform with a small square chedi(stupa) on it, about two-thirds of the way up.
My only companion to the ‘summit’ was a local dog on this bright, cool, almost autumnal day, just after sunrise……

Sukhothai was the capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom from 128-1438 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Spread out over acres, we began loud negotiations with a tuk-tuk driver to visit the most important sites. The majority of visitors piddle leisurely around but we don't have the time. Wat Mahathat would have to be considered Number One or Number Two on the must see list. Do you agree?

The Phra Acana Buddha image at Wat Si Chum
The most striking feature of the temple is the large solid building (mondop) at the rear of what remains of the main prayer hall. A single narrow slit, almost the full height of the mondop, is all that pierces the structure. Through this narrow entrance, you glimpse the serene face of a single large seated Buddha image that almost completely fills the space enclosed by the building. The mondop once had a roof, but it is now gone, so the interior space is open to the sky. The walls of the mondop are much thicker than they need to be. This is because there is a narrow, cramped passageway between the outer and inner walls. The corridor was lined with depictions of the life of Buddha (the Jataka), and allowed devotees to climb up and around the image. Small openings in the inner wall allowed people to get a small glimpse of just one part of the image. The Ramkamhaeng National Museum is attempting to replicate this experience in the museum.
The Buddha image is itself quite striking, and not just for its setting. The image is known as Phra Acana, which means 'one who is not frightened' or 'unperturbed'. The fingers of his right hand, which is extended down to summon the Earth Goddess, are long and delicate. They have been, of course, covered in bits of gold leaf by contemporary Thais. According to legend, a Burmese army invading Sukhothai fled at the sight of this image
.
The Wat Phra Phai Luang
Is located near the Sanluang gate in the North city wall, just outside of the old walled town. The temple dates to the end of the 12th century or early 13th century before the founding of the Sukhothai Kingdom, which makes it one of the oldest monuments in Sukhothai.
It is believed to have been founded during the reign of Angkor King Jayavarman VII, who built some of Angkor’s most impressive monuments including the Bayon temple. The Wat Phra Phai Luang was built by the Khmer when the Sukhothai area was an outpost of the Khmer empire. It was the center of town in the pre Sukhothai era and the most important temple of that time.
The large temple is built on a square area surrounded by a 600 meter long moat, its buildings aligned on an East-West axis. Since its structures were built during different periods, the temple shows the evolution in Sukhothai architecture and art. It contains examples of different architectural styles such as Khmer, Sukhothai and Ayutthay

Parc historique de Sukhothai, patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco. Temples Wat Mahathat et Wat Sra Sri
Attention: n'utilisez aucune de mes vidéos originales sans ma permission, merci!
Visite à vélo du parc historique de Sukhothai, inscrit lui aussi au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco. Visite de ses principaux vestiges du XIIIème siècle : le Wat Mahathat et le Wat Sra Sri. Je vous explique aussi en fin de vidéo la signification de certaines poses de Bouddha.
Sukhothaï (ou Sukothaï) est la première capitale du Siam (Thaïlande) fondée en 1238 et mettant fin au règne khmer d'Angkor Wat. Sukhothaï a été inscrite en 1991 au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité. Elle est plus célèbre pour son art que pour ses réalisations politiques.
Sukhothaï fut la capitale du premier royaume thaïlandais suzerain sur le bassin du fleuve Chao Phraya, à l'ouest sur la baie du Bengale et sur la péninsule entière. Ce royaume, après s'être affranchi de la tutelle khmère, parvint à préserver son indépendance de 1250 jusqu'au xve siècle. En 1378, Sukhothaï devint tributaire de l'État d'Ayutthaya.
À la fin du xiiie siècle, dans les contrées voisines, les Mongols attaquent le Viêt Nam et l'Empire Khmer et saccagent la magnifique cité birmane de Pagan (1287). Sukhotaï se déclare leur vassale et profite de la situation. Ramkhamhaeng, dit « Rama le Fort », monarque respecté pour son équité et sa sagesse, la porte à son apogée entre 1275 et 1317. L'original de sa stèle, portant les plus anciennes inscriptions en alphabet thaï, se trouve au musée de Bangkok.
Située à environ 450 kilomètres au nord de Bangkok, l'immense cité de Sukhothaï est aujourd'hui en ruine. Le palais en bois de ses rois a disparu. Toutefois, la ville possède encore de nombreux vestiges de temples, construits en latérite et en brique. La plupart des édifices qui ont été découverts, et pour partie relevés, se trouvent à l'intérieur d'un rempart renforcé de douves. Mais de nombreux autres bâtiments, disséminés dans les rizières environnantes, attendent d'être dégagés de l'enveloppe de terre qui les recouvre.
Une grande partie des objets retrouvés à Sukhothaï se trouve au musée national de Bangkok.

Wat Mahathat / Sukhothai City - Thailand
Wat Mahathat is the most important and impressive temple compound in Sukhothai Historical Park. 'Wat Mahathat' translates as 'temple of the great relic' and many Thai cities have a Wat Mahathat, where relics of the Buddha were kept.
When evaluating the Sukhothai Inscriptions (on stone) Wat Mahathat was built somewhere in between 1292 and 1347.
Wat Mahathat is the first temple complex you see when entering the historical park from the east. There are many temple structures, a lot of them have been restored during the 20th century. So some of the decorations may not exactly be as old as you might have imagined. You would need a thorough guidebook or someone with archaeologic knowledge to figure out exactly what is as it used to be, and what has been restored.
Main structures at Wat Mahathat include : the central group with a lotus-bud shaped chedi, four corner smaller stupas and four Khmer-style prangs in the cardinal positions ; assembly hall (to the east) with seated Buddha Image ; two mandapas (square buildings) located north and south of the central group, each with a tall standing Buddha Image ; ordination hall to the north, with seated Buddha Image.

Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai
Both new and ancient cities in Thailand feature a Wat Mahathat, where a main Buddha relic is kept. Wat Mahathat in the historic city of Sukhothai, in our opinion is the most splendid of them all.
More info and pictures :
The temple on the lake, Old Sukhothai, Thailand
The temple on the lake, Old Sukhothai, Thailand
Just a short way up from the east gate of old Sukhothai is Wat Traphang Thong, the temple of the golden pond.
This Buddhist temple is the only one of the ancient temples within the old city walls that is still in active use, today. Originally built during the reign of King Lithai of Sukhothai, the main remaining structure is a laterite Singhalese-style round-shaped chedi.
In front of the chedi s a small pavilion housing the Lord Buddha footprint on a large stone slab. The Footprint dates from 1359 and was originally at the temple of Phra Bat Yai situtaed on a hill outside of town. It was moved to Wat Traphang Thong in the mid-twentieth century.....
