Wat Sa Si, Sukhothai Historical Park, Sukhothai

Wat Sa Si, Sukhothai Historical Park, Sukhothai Wat Sa Si. Northwest of Wat Maha That, this beautiful ancient monument is in the middle of large reservoir known as Trapang Trakuan, Its important building include a round bell-shaped chedi, an assembly hall (Vihara) and an ordination hall (Ubosoth). This round stupa serves as historical evidence of the prevalence of Singhalese Buddhism in Sukhothai. This circular stupa is sometimes known as a chedi in the Sri Lankan bell-shaped style. The ordination hall in the middle of the reservoir points to a Buddhist concept of demarcating an area where monks perform religious functions by enclosing the holy precincts with water as a symbol of purity.
