Description

Located to the east of the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum, the ancient monument was constructed on the island in the middle of the reservoir named Tra Phang Thong. Surrounded with 8 subordinate chedi, the main one in circular bell shape was built on laterite base with its upper part made of brick. Its ordination hall is in rather good condition because it was rebuilt about 90 years ago on the foundation of the old one of the Sukhothai period by Phraya Ronachaichanyut (Khrut), a Sukhothai governor, who was ordained here as a novice. Regarded as a valuable asset to the temple is a stone sculpture of Buddha footprint removed from Phra Bat Yai Hill. The stone footprint was made in 1359 AD in the reign of Phra Maha Dharmaraja Li Thai of the Sukhothai period.
