Wat Sorasak

We got to one of the park's most iconic temples. This stands out from the others by a stupa whose base is decorated with depictions of elephants. This type of style is Sri Lankan which was constructed during the time of the capital of Sukhothai. This concept is based on the elephant being the animal to defend the temples and Buddhism. It is close to Ta Pha Doeng , just a little further north and was conceived by the governor of Sukhothai. Later a monk named Nai Inthara Sorasak constructed the chedi to honor the governor. There are stone inscriptions to confirm it. Family members of the governor were invited to stay here and to perform religious ceremonies and other events.
