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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
