The Si Satchanalai historical park is a lesser known world heritage site, similar to Sukhothai but strangely not as popular.

IMG_4985.jpg


Founded in 1250, Si Satchanalai was the 2[sup]nd[/sup] centre of the Sukhothai kingdom & ruled by a crown princes in the 13th-14[sup]th[/sup] centuries. In the 16th century, a 5-metre high wall with an upstream moat was built to fend off the growing Burmese attacks.

Si Satchanalai in many ways much more interesting than the more manicured & promoted Sukhothai site; & the ruins to me seem more authentic & more extensive & are most definitely worth a visit.

Park entrance for farang in October was 100 baht - Thai drivers licence not accepted!

No vehicles are allowed in & a treddly is the way go

IMG_9407.jpg


if you're good enough; or use the guided park "train."

The main temples in the park are

Wat Chedi Chet Thaeo

Wat Chang Lom

Wat Chom Chuen

Wat Nang Paya

There are numerous other ruins seemingly scattered everywhere amongst the trees, with walls & moats still relatively intact. Indeed it must have been a beautiful city in its day.

If you have not been to Si Satchanalai, you should check it out sometime. Highly recommended.

I will let the images do the talking.

60 kms north of Sukhothai, Sii Satchanalai has quite a few hotels / guesthouse near the ruins, but the ruins are 15 kms from the centre of town & it’s awfully quiet out there at night. Even Si Satch is damn quiet too!

Its 240 kms from Si Satchanalai - Chiang Mai  = 3.5 hrs fast hard riding.

Take your time & it’s a leisurely half day ride to / from Si Satchanalai - Chiang Mai

I visited a couple of years ago and found Si Satchanalai to have a wonderful atmosphere. As there are few visitors, it is a peaceful place with similar architectural style to Sukhothai.

Here are a few more pics of this wonderful old ruined city.

This is an interesting feature, only small but similar to the structures on the Bayon in Angkhor, with Buddha looking in 4 directions.

Thanks for this Ian

After I got back I did a bit more research & realized that I'd missed probably the most important site

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Chaliang

GTR-IMG_0567-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0634-.jpg


it lies outside the park & just to the south, beside the Yom River

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat predates the Sukhothai era. It was founded in 1237, when the area was under control of the Khmer empire from Angkor. It was restored and expanded during the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya eras.

Today, the temple is an active monastery with a modern ubosot and kuti, the monks living quarters.

GTR-IMG_0575-.jpg
The modern ubosot & the ancient temple

The temple’s modern ubosot, was built over the remains of an older one. Inside the ordination hall is a large golden Buddha image in the “Calling the Earth to witness” posture.

GTR-IMG_0585-.jpg


In front of the main Buddha image are numerous smaller old images in various postures.

GTR-IMG_0591-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0589-.jpg


Back to the ruins - the complex is surrounded by a wall of vertical laterite slabs topped with horizontal slabs is a large number of structures aligned on an East West axis.

GTR-IMG_0637-.jpg

The Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat houses structures from various eras and styles including Khmer (Bayon style pillar over the East entrance gate), Sukhothai (Phra Attharot standing Buddha image in the mondop, walking Buddha image in the principal viharn) and Ayutthaya (prang).

GTR-IMG_0594-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0596-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0599-.jpg


Divided into two areas by a laterite wall & a gate;

GTR-IMG_0622-.jpg
The laterite wall dividing the sections

the main structures are a prang & viharn in the East section are the prang and principal viharn,

GTR-IMG_0580-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0602-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0640-.jpg


& in the West section are the Phra That Mutao, a Mandapa, and a second viharn.

GTR-IMG_0641-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0656-.jpg
Phra That Mutao chedi - The oldest structure of the temple, is believed to be of Mon Dvaravati origin.

GTR-IMG_0658-.jpg


Behind the Phra That Mutao are the remains of a viharn, an assembly hall named Viharn Phra Song Phi Nong. Its name translates to “viharn of the two brothers”, referring to the two large images inside.

GTR-IMG_0667-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0671-.jpg


The Mandapa - built of laterite blocks & covered with stucco, enshrines a large standing Buddha.

GTR-IMG_0662-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0684-.jpg


GTR-IMG_0632-.jpg


There's a steep narrow stairway up the prang

GTR-IMG_0605-.jpg
The steep prang stairway

GTR-IMG_0606-.jpg
Looking down the prang stairway

The prang dates to the second half of the 15[sup]th[/sup] century, the early Ayutthaya period & is believed to have been built over an older structure.

At the top of the steps is a small cellar inside the prang

GTR-IMG_0614-.jpg


The view at the stop is a beauty & worth the climb

GTR-IMG_0610-.jpg


Dont miss it!

27 Feb 2020, back in Si Satchanalai after the fantastic GTR dinner at CSL restaurant

Monthly GT Rider Up-Country Dinner Rendezvous Rides

The morning after I took my time & wandered up the road to check out some of Si Satch's history & culture at the Museum.

The Gold Textile & Folk Museum was the destination

Location: Google Maps

There are actually two parts to the museum.
One a very informative folk museum displaying old implements used in everyday life, and two the textile museum.
The museum belongs to Si Satchanalai's most prominent family & was opened to the public in 1988, after years of collecting items of Si Satch's history & culture.

The Folk Museum & Buildings

Each building housed different sets of utensils and implements.

Each item had an accompanying painting of how it was used above the item.
I have seen many of them on display before, but not with such a clear accompanying image of how they were used.

Finally catching up the Gold Textile Museum

upload_2020-3-10_12-18-50.png


The Gold Textile museum has some fascinating pieces & items.
Some of the textile pieces are extremely valuable - 300,000 baht & some come from Shan state in Myanmar.
The Shan items remind me of the fantastic Oub Kham Museum in Chiang Rai.
6 nights 7 days in the Top North.

The museum..
