Wat Nang Phaya วัดนางพญา , Si Satchanalai

Wat Nang Phaya (GPS: 17.42918, 99.78816; Thai: วัดนางพญา ) is the ruins of a Thai Buddhist temple in Si Satchanalai, Thailand. Its name means Temple of the Queen. It holds the distinction of having some of the finest stucco work that is still visible in Si Satchanalai.

As with most of the temples in Si Satchanalai, Wat Nang Phaya occupies a rectangular compound enclosed by a laterite wall punctuated with entraces at each cardinal direction. There is a viharn, or what's left of it, with an empty pedestal where a Buddha statue was once there. Behind the viharn is the main stupa, which rises from a square base, and has a flight of stairs leading.
