Wat Si Sawai
วัดศรีสวาย
Three Khmer-style corn-cob prangs stand side by side. Originally a Khmer Hindu temple and later converted into a Buddhist temple, they reflect the influence of Angkor that predates the Sukhothai period.
Wat Si Sawai lies south of Wat Mahathat. Its three Khmer-style towers, built of red brick with stucco decoration, are rare Angkor-style structures in the historical park. Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, they were originally dedicated to Shiva and were converted into a Buddhist temple during the Sukhothai period. The tower bodies still retain stucco carvings of nagas and deities, and the site is enclosed by walls and a moat. It is a three-minute bike ride from Wat Mahathat. Included in the Central Zone ticket.
