Wat Si Sawai วัดศรีสวาย , Sukhothai

Wat Si Sawai, Sukhothai (24 December, 2003)


[an error occurred while processing this directive] Wat Si Sawai (GPS: 17.01372, 99.70245; Thai: วัดศรีสวาย ) is the ruins of an ancient temple in Sukhothai, Thailand. It is located on the southern part of the Sukhothai Historical Park, a short distance from Wat Mahathat.

The name Wat Si Sawai means Temple of Mangoes. Its most notable feature is without a doubt the three Khmer-style prangs. Considering that this temple was built with prangs instead of chedis, it was built by the Khmers, and began as a Hindu temple rather than a Buddhist one, possibly between the late 12th to the early 13th century. It was only in the 14th century, after the Khmers have departed, that the Thais converted it into a Theravada Buddhist temple.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
