Visit Sorasak Temple in Sukhothai, Thailand

#Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand City Attractions #Sukhothai #Thailand Wat Sorasak, also translated as "Sorasa Temple", is located in the north of the central area of ​​​​Sukhothai Historical Park, within the city walls, but does not require a ticket to the historical park. The most distinctive feature of the temple is that there are 24 white elephants at the bottom of the pagoda, as if the elephants are holding up the entire pagoda. It is a Sri Lankan-style pagoda from the Sukhothai period. This is somewhat similar to Wat Chang Lom outside the east gate of the historical park, but Wat Chang Lom has 32 white elephants. In Thai mythology, the white elephant is the most sacred of all creatures and symbolizes the royal divine right to rule. On the way from the central area of ​​the park to Wat Sorasak, you will encounter an inconspicuous temple called "San Ta Pha Daeng". It is the oldest religious relic in Sukhothai and was built during the Khmer rule in the 13th century.
