Description

Situated inside the northern wall of Sukhothai and close to the gate of the royal shrine, this ancient temple is well known for its lotus bud-shaped chedi. There is no mention of the name of this temple in any stone inscriptions. Wat Son Khao is a name given by locals. In 1965 CE, its excavation and restoration were undertaken by the Fine Arts Department. Presumably, Wat Son Khao and Wat Sorasak were initially a single temple.
