Wat Trapang Ngern, Sukhothai Historical Park, Sukhothai

Wat Trapang Ngern, Sukhothai Historical Park, Sukhothai Wat Trapang Ngern was located 300 meters west of Wat Maha That, this ancient temple without a boundary wall. Wat Trapang Ngern has a large principal stupa that bears a close resemblance to the principal stupa at Wat Maha That viz. having a lotus-bud summit and a base with Buddha images in alcoves. The difference is that the Buddha images found here are all in the attitude of walking Buddha. East of the principal stupa, an ordination hall was constructed on an island in the middle of the reservoir named Trapang Ngern. The construction of this ordination hall is in accordance with the concept known as Nadi Sima or Udaka Sima which means the enclosure of the precincts with water as a symbol of purity.
