    Amazing temple ruins north of the main park. There is an additional entrance fee however. A must visit.

    Nice complex, same ticket than Wat Si Chum, although I must admit I believe that 100THB/person just for those 2 places is a bit too expensive (come with a family and you see it adds up quite fast...). Man at the entrance where they checked the ticket tried to keep ours, we refused as the ticket is valid for the whole day and not just for 1 time. He didn't seem happy about it...

    One of the two main temples to see in the North Zone of the Sukhothai Historical Park heritage site. Located slightly outside the North Gate of the ancient wall city, it was at the heart of the busy North Gate traffic and trade. Only one of the 3 prangs in the Khmer style remain, and this is one of only 3 temples in the entire complex that show Angkor - LopBuri influences. You will need a ticket to enter the North Zone - 100 thb - this ticket is separate from the similar one for the Central Zone.

    A stunning ancient temple complex outside of the main historical park in Sukhothai. Easy to access via car, bike or a Tuk Tuk ride. Definitely worth the trip to explore this beautiful ruins site.

    Same ticket (100 B) as for wat si chum, so if you re planning to see that one and have a bike you should check this one out as well.

    Known as the first capital of Thailand, a visit to Sukhothai Historical Park is an excellent destination for history and culture fans. Although my journey’s main focus was on other Sukhothai attractions, I ended up having a great time in and around the park. Located smack in the middle between Bangkok and Chiang Mai, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers visitors a glimpse into the ancient kingdom of Sukhothai. Advice: Woke up 5:30, took a Grab taxi and rented a small golf cart around 6:30 when the park open. You have the bear in mind that we visited in May when the temperatures arrive to 39 degrees so I recommend to visit soon and with a vehicle to don’t loose time while the temperature is raising. We drove for 2h and visit all center, north and East.

    (Translated by Google) Most of the area is but not the most interesting. Especially if you have already done the main site. Neamoins, it is included in the price to see the temple of Wat si chum which is a must see. (Original) Plus grande partie de la zone est mais pas la plus intéressante. Surtout si vous avez déjà fait le site principal. Neamoins, il est inclus dans le prix pour voir le temple de Wat si chum qui est a voir absolument.

    The temples are amzing in this city, especially this one. Always look at the small details the amount of beauty in the architexture is missed by most people who seem to walk blindly passed the smaller details. Always pay what you can! These structures require maintanace and once they are gone they are gone, the small details remaining are of such value that it would be a great loss. what is left needs protecting!

    Another nice Wat in the north part of the park. Unfortunately quite destroyed. Nevertheless a good stop by when you are doing a big tour around the historical park. Don‘t even think about walking the whole way from city center:)

  • 4/5 Mathias Skjæran L. 2 months ago on Google • 278 reviews New
    Cool temple to visit where you still can see a lot of the old structures. But it is still heavily destroyed. Contains a big area so you are able to imagine how impressive it must have been at its peak!

  • 4/5 Orfeas K. 3 months ago on Google • 160 reviews New
    Quite beautiful and impressive, it was also helpful to see the images of how Wat Phrapai Luang would have looked when built,it must have been truly majestic!

    Very nice Sukhothai ancient temple with Khmer architectural style. Not recommend in summer time.

  • 5/5 Quivering M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice temple complex, cost was 100 baht to enter, a bit much since the much larger historical park was the same price. Overall it was a nice comex with no crowds at all, worth it for the peace and quiet.

  • 3/5 Elisa R. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A ruin outside the historical park and the city wall. Very nice for lovers but to pay another 100baht entry I find a bit exaggerated, especially when you consider that the whole park costs the same and offers much more. (Original) Eine Ruine außerhalb des historischen Parks und der Stadtmauer. Sehr schön für Liebhaber aber nochmal 100baht Eintritt zu zahlen finde ich ein bisschen übertrieben, vor allem wenn man bedenkt dass der ganze Park das selbe kostet und wesentlich mehr bietet.

    Hopefully you saw Wat Si Chum (beautiful giant reconstructed Buddha) when it opened at 7:30 am. Take a walk over here since you already paid your 100 Baht. Yes, it's badly damaged. Yes, it's definitely worth a half hour. See if you can find the bats.

  • 5/5 Iqbal P. 4 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    This wat is unique, since it has a tower with khmer architecture. Based on history, there should be 3 towers inside the wat, but as of now the 2 others are only the structure. However, as the tower represents meru in Hinduism, you still can find the ruin of buddha statues.

  • 3/5 แมลงปอ 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a fairly large ruin near Wat Si Chum. Although it's a minor, I think that the reason I go around here on a tour is because Wat Si Chum and tickets are the same... However, it seems that it is a fairly old ruin, and the foundation of the innermost shrine is something from the Khmer era, something like ... It was written in the Thai Wiki. (Original) ワットシーチュムの近くある、結構規模の大きな遺跡です。ちとマイナーですが、大体ツアーでここに周るのは、ワットシーチュムとチケットが共通だから…だと思います。でも、結構古い遺跡の様で、最奥の祠堂の基礎は、クメール時代のものだとかなんとか…みたいなことが、タイ語Wikiに書いてありました。

    (Translated by Google) Wat Phra Phai Luang has important archaeological sites that should be preserved. You should bring an umbrella because it is very sunny during the day. (Original) วัดพระพายหลวงมีโบราณสถานที่สำคัญควรอนุรักษ์ คุณควรพกร่มมาด้วยเพราะว่าตอนกลางวันแดดแรงมาก

  • 3/5 Maarten P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice to see. It is recommended to visit it at sunset or sunrise. The price of 100 bath per person is only a little on the expensive side (you pay the same for the historic park in the center). (Original) Mooi om te zien. Aanrader is om het tegen zonsondergang of zonsopgang aan te bezoeken. De prijs van 100 bath p.p. vind ik alleen wat aan de dure kant (je betaalt hetzelfde voor het historisch park in het centrum).

    (Translated by Google) Is an ancient monument that has been built Additions to many generations At each point there will be an art form of the era.
