Wat Mahathat Chainat - Ancient Temple Built in 1354 - Thailand 2024
Wat Mahathat Sankhaburi is a historical temple located in Sankhaburi, Chainat, Thailand. It is about 2 to 3 hours north of Bangkok. The temple was built in 1354 during the Sukhothai era of what is now Thailand. It may have been built on prior ruins from earlier kingdoms like the Dvaravati. There are also Khmer artifacts on site like a lintel and shiva relics.
Wat Mahathat or Wat Phra Mahathat was originally named Wat Hua Muang.
Sankhaburi had been an important fort town used several times as a base of the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya Kingdoms to confront the Burmese army, thus originating the name of Chainat means a “place of victory”.
The temple was in very poor condition and has seen some restoration. The chedis and prangs that have been restored as well as the 9 room Wihan are all worth seeing.
The temple is known for its ruined chedi with seated Buddha images and three-star-fruit shaped prangs, which house Buddha relics. The temple’s architecture is a mix of Dvaravati and Sukhothai styles, reflecting its rich history and cultural significance.
Wat Mahathat Sankhaburi is an important historical site and a little known tourist site for visitors to the area. It is not crowded and a great place to visit if you are in the area.
