Wat Sorasak วัดสรศักดิ์ , Sukhothai

Wat Mae Chon, Sukhothai (23 December, 2003)


Wat Sorasak (GPS: 17.02296, 99.70472; Thai: วัดสรศักดิ์ ) is one of the Thai Buddhist temple ruins in Sukhothai, Thailand.

What I find quite outstanding is that it has a chedi where the base has sculptures of elephants protruding out. This is similar to another Sukhothai temple ruins, Wat Chang Lom. It is also similar to the Wat Chang Lom of Si Satchanalai, except that in Si Satchanalai, almost the whole elephant body is shown, while over here, only half. Both designs may have been derived from Sri Lanka, particularly the Ruwanweliseya Dagoba of Anuradhapura.

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.
