Wat
Chetuphon
is
the
largest
temple
outside
the
city
walls
and
south
of
Namo
gate
2
kilometers.
The
temple
is
famous
for
its
four
Buddha
images
of
vast
size
in
four
different
postures
(sitting,
reclining,
standing
and
walking).
It
is
not
known
when
the
temple
was
founded.
A
stone
inscription
found
at
the
Wat
Chetuphon
does
not
mention
its
founding
date.
It
does
mention
that
in
1514
a
Buddha
image
was
constructed
to
be
enshrined
in
the
temple.
The
Wat
Chetuphon
is
believed
to
have
been
an
important
temple
in
the
late
Sukhothai
period.
The
temple
is
mentioned
in
the
stone
inscription
discovered
at
the
Wat
Sorasak,
which
describes
an
event
that
took
place
in
the
middle
of
the
15th
century
when
monks
of
several
temples
including
those
of
the
Wat
Chetuphon
discussed
the
founding
of
another
temple
in
Sukhothai.
