    Passed this elephant temple while cycling. There were no other tourists, and there’s no entrance fee either. Nice to see, and take a few photo’s.

    Very impressive Wat nevertheless some of the elephants have been rebuild. This helps imagine how this beautiful temple has looked like. Great stop when you drive to new Sukhothai by bike.

    The temple consists of the main pagoda in circular bell shape with 32 elephant statues around its base, a vihara to enshrine a Buddha image which is now in ruins, the ordination hall, surrounded by water in accordance with the concept of Udaka Sima, subordinate chedi and a boundary wall to enclose the whole temple.

    It’s a historical site next to a hotel and a big area of farmland which is quite easily accessible by walk or bike. The name literally means a temple surrounded by elephants (Wat means temple and Chang means elephant). Some of the elephant sculpture got renovated to show the previous look. Highly recommend to visit with a bike (or by a bike tour)

    Very charming, the carved elephants are very beautiful and gave this temple it's name (chang means elephant). Rather quiet and serene away from the usual tourist path.

    A historical site at Sukhothai. Worth visiting but becareful during rainy season. The road surrounding Sukhothai could be flooded.

    Nice and a tranquil setting. Worth visiting if you're passing but wouldn't go to any special effort

  • 5/5 Quivering M. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent little wat to visit. Basically a smaller version of the Chang Wat in Chiang Mai. Free to see and away from the crowds of the historical park.

👍 I loved the surrounding environment with its nature. The coolness under the trees with the breeze was spectacular compliments the facilities. However, there was no menu to cater to my meal. Please improve the menu to cater all.
